The Big Glass Window



Been staring out the big glass window
Wodering what would happen
If i had to take a leap
Straight to the bottom

Would i just fall and die
Or would something break my fall
Would i just go way offcourse
And hit a brick wall

i wonder what would happen
If i had to take a leap
Straight through the big glass window
And land up in a heap

A door to the afterlife
Sometimes i may think
So i wonder what would happen
If i took the leap

Been staring out the big glass window
Wodering what would happen
If i had to take a leap
Straight to the bottom
