Analysis of Free fall
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
She was free falling
And her heart was mulling over
Where she was going
And what she was doing
Her life on the edge
The clouds were her bridge to heaven
Who was she seeing
She started screaming
It was overwhelming
She was dreaming
Yes she was beaming
Her parachute was not flailing
She was saved but she was falling
She was free falling
