From the sky it came crashing down, one sunny morning. Only in retrospect you think, How did you ride those clouds all this while? Smooth sailing, or light turbulence, You floated along unawareness You were invincible, But that sinking feeling In the bottomless pit of your stomach Only got deeper and deeper. Until that fateful day When all the emergency lights went on and the gas mask drops down to your lap. The seat beside you is empty now, Parachute missing Looks like someone got to it first Looks like he knew it was coming, And he saved himself first. A certain risk is always taken, unknowingly Didn't you, in essence, place all your bets in one go?

From the sky it came crashing down, one sunny morning. Only in retrospect you think, How did you ride those clouds all this while? Smooth sailing, or light turbulence, You floated along unawareness You were invincible, But that sinking feeling In the bottomless pit of your stomach Only got deeper and deeper. Until that fateful day When all the emergency lights went on and the gas mask drops down to your lap. The seat beside you is empty now, Parachute missing Looks like someone got to it first Looks like he knew it was coming, And he saved himself first. A certain risk is always taken, unknowingly Didn't you, in essence, place all your bets in one go?
