I am very prone to trip
And fall off ropes or sides of cliffs
I get hurt and easily bruise
You always know what to do
Wrap your arms around like straps
I wear you like a backpack
You know that I rely on you
My parachute
My head is often in the clouds
Miles and miles above the ground
So distracted by the view
Priorities can get confused
When I get too far side to side
You center me and smooth the ride
You know that I rely on you
My parachute
When the path is crumbling
And I feel myself plummeting
Falling fast collecting speed
I'm in the grips of gravity
You always open up for me
And I land firmly on my feet
You know that I rely on you
My parachute
I'm not falling
I am floating
In the weather
I am flowing
I've been told I am the kind
Who belongs up in the sky
Way out in the atmosphere
Among the stars and meteors
Knowing I have you with me
I'm not afraid to take the leap
You know that I rely on you
My parachute
