[00:11.03]There were balloons in the sky
[00:13.86]When his last night arrived,
[00:16.77]He was led to the chaplain of his crime.
[00:22.24]They promised him not too much pain,
[00:25.18]He begged for them to change,
[00:28.21]But the judge declared he couldn’t be saved.
[00:33.97]He had no other family
[00:36.84]So his legacy would be a space with a number
[00:39.97]As sodium cyanide filled the chamber.
[00:45.76]Don’t let go
[00:50.40]Of your balloon.
[00:52.21]Da da da da da

[01:13.60]There were balloons in they sky
[01:16.46]When he took his own life,
[01:19.05]There was love but at school
[01:21.81]It was unaccepted.
[01:24.96]For the one he longed to kiss
[01:27.64]He cried tears as the fists beat him down,
[01:30.48]Led him home to finally end it.
[01:36.02]And as he lay asleep that night
[01:38.97]They told him there’s no
[01:42.11]Bigger word than love I can think of.
[01:47.55]If there was, I would say it,
[01:50.93]Rewind, then replay it
[01:53.73]For you, my only.
[01:56.73]The note to his mother read,
[01:58.32]“I’m so sorry.”
[02:01.17]Don’t let go
[02:03.86]Of your balloon.

[02:28.19]Flying it up
[02:29.94]Through the trees,
[02:31.14]Brushing it up against the leaves,
[02:33.64]Something, something seemed to fit.
[02:39.39]A hundred thousand red balloons he untied,
[02:42.38]Took off his shoes,
[02:46.08]And jumped
[02:47.88]And jumped.
[02:51.21]One two three four
[02:52.86]Two two three four
[02:54.50]Three two three four
[02:59.49]Stuff two three
[03:35.78]There were balloons in the sky
[03:38.67]On the night she survived
[03:41.60]As the groups marched through her hometown.
[03:46.94]They all yelled patriotic,
[03:50.04]In a confused rhetoric,
[03:53.13]And they sung for her to go home.
[03:58.41]But I am just like you,
[04:01.70]I was born and raised amongst you,
[04:04.54]So not matter what you put me through ,
[04:07.23]Your love is hate but my love stays true .
