I want to be the monkey bars Not the fingers The fingers grasp and clutch But the monkey bars don't care much The monkey bars stand tall An object of awe But the fingers are scared Of dropping in the lava below Burning from the blisters they give Unable to let go They hold Trying to be strong Letting the monkey bars make them rough Terrified of being alone Stuck in the lava with no home The fingers are weak They don't understand the true power they seek Is happiness without pain Which they could obtain of they just let go and fall into the lava below Because it's a myth It doesn't burn To be alone It's absolute bliss Though the monkey bars they will miss The lava burns away the pain Leaving only happiness to gain
