Analysis of The Balloon Lullaby
I'm floating
Just like a balloon
I'll be home soon
As I sing this tune
Waving past the stars
On towards the sun
Night is over now
Today has just begun
I'm floating
Just like a bird
So peaceful
My heart feels worth
Angels play there
As I dip along
Winds that take me
To a golden throne
