My Beautiful Balloon

Written in response to Jim Adam’s Thursday Inspiration

Respond to this challenge by either using the prompt word down, or going with the above picture, or by means of the song ‘Share The Land’, or by going with another song by the Guess Who or Bachman Turner Overdrive, or any other song that is about an idealistic society, or you can go with anything else you think fits. 

Up, Up and Away is a popular song performed by soul-pop group The 5th Dimension and written, composed, arranged and co-produced by Jimmy Webb. It was both Jimmy Webb and The 5th Dimension’s first song to reach top 10 on any chart.

Up, Up and Away

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly (we can fly)
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly (we can fly)
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us
We’ll keep the moon beside us
