Aerials..

Life is a waterfall,

We're one in the river,

And one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void

We hear the word,

We lose ourselves,

But we find it all

Cause we are the ones that want to play,

Always want to go,

But you never want to stay,

And we are the ones that want to choose,

Always want to play,

But you never want to lose.

Aerials, in the sky,

When you lose small mind,

You free your life.

Life is a waterfall,

We drink from the river,

Then we turn around and put up our walls.

Swimming through the void

We hear the word,

We lose ourselves,

But we find it all

Cause we are the ones that want to play,

Always want to go,

But you never want to stay,

And we are the ones that want to choose,

Always want to play,

But you never want to lose,

ohhh

Aerials, in the sky,

When you lose small mind,

You free your life.

Aerials, so up high,

When you free your eyes,

Eternal prize.

Aerials, in the sky,

When you lose small mind,

You free your life.

Aerials, so up high,

When you free your eyes,

Eternal prize.
