Six colourful balloons floating through the air
Is it true no one is on board
I see an empty basket and I wonder
Are these wishing balloons delivering something
Smuggling humans over borders?
Would anyone dare to shoot them down?
How long can a balloon fly without a captain
Is wind only enough to steer it into the right direction?
It's expensive to travel that way plus it's cold up there,
my friend says while he points up in the air.
Most likely he is right
So I watch the balloon pass by while I stay behind
Not a single person waved at me
It must be great to leave reality behind.
The grass isn't always green on the other side
My friend says, while he holds my hands and reads my mind
Let's sit and watch the sight, take a few photos and remember
Every summer they show up out of the blue
and what appears has to disappear again.
