Don't Jump Over The Cliff!

Written by Tom Radd

Climbing up a mountain,
On a clear blue day.
I never saw the clouds coming;
If I did, I'd run away.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

The rain started pouring,
The mountain got wet.
I needed to stay dry somehow,
Or a cold I'd surely get.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

The rain fell hard for a long while,
Then something happened that made me smile.
A flying saucer in the sky
Flew over my head and kept me dry.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

Don't jump over the cliff,
Find another way around.
We can go left or right,
Or take a flight,
But never straight down.

Never straight down.
