She Floats Away

Written and preformed by Janet Gardner and Justin James

She's sad
And then she's mad
Sometimes I wish she'd be more like her dad.
She gets hurt
And when she hits the dirt
It ushers in a crisis that you can't avert

I just want her to fly
But not too high
To where the air gets thin
And I want her to soar
I want to hear her roar
And echo through the expanse of space and time.

Chorus:
She floats away
simple and free
I gotta let her go
eventually
She likes to fall
into the arms
Of alarming uncertainty
And it tortures me

She sees in color
Never black and white
Always musing bout the world being so uptight
She knows she's smart
And from the very start
Always sayin mom I'll never fall apart
And I want her to play
I wanna hear her say
Everythings OK
And I want her to shine
And in her own time
She'll conquer every mountain that she needs to climb

Chorus

She floats away
simple and free
I gotta let her go
eventually
She likes to fall
into the arms
Of alarming uncertainty
And it tortures me

Be true to you
Be kind every time, every time
Stay strong

Chorus

She floats away
simple and free
I gotta let her go
eventually
She likes to fall
into the arms
Of alarming uncertainty
And it tortures me
