Reaching for the sky
Grabbing at the air
Never looking back
Afraid of what is there

I could hear the boy’s neck creaking
All he wanted was a peek
How could he imagine the consequences
Of finally finding what you seek

The raft
The raft
The raft

He stand upon the others’
Frail and naked shoulders
Making friends with all
Medusa’s frightened soldiers

Ohhhhh
How bright the star

They warned him 27 times
Once for every year of his life
They said be careful what you ask for
You won’t end up with what you like

The raft
The raft
The raft

The raft
The raft
The raft
