I'll Be Your Parachute

Somehow, you got on a flight of hope,
But it took you somewhere wrong,
On a diversion of hurt, a detour of pain,
Then a stop off in total destruction.

But no matter where,
That flight of life takes you,
My parachute of care,
Is always ready to protect you.

Coz I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And life's engines are stalling,
I'll be your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute.

Somewhere on that flight up in mid air,
You found out the hard truth,
Sitting on a baggage seat of lies,
With no safety belt to spare.

But don't carry the suitcase of pain,
That flight of life gave you,
Coz my parachute of love,
Is always ready to catch you.

Coz I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And life's engines are stalling,
I'll be your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute,
And I'll catch you,
When you're falling,
And when your wings are broken,
Coz my heart is your parachute,
Your parachute, your parachute.

I'll be your parachute of care,
When life's rocky or bare,
And I'll be your parachute of hope,
When you let go of life's rope,
I'll be your parachute of love,
When care is no longer there,
Coz the parachute of love inside my heart,
Will open when your life falls apart.
