If it's windy, then I'll glide to the side
If you hit me, then I'll fight and I might pop
So what, my soul stays alive
What if I break down, but what if I fly
Then I might crash around, but I will survive
Up in the sky like a red balloon
I wanna fly until I hit the moon
Up in the sky like a red balloon, like a red balloon
Trying to find what will lift me up
Here on the ground so that I can rise
Up in the sky like a red balloon, like a red balloon
Life will get harder, but I will get stronger
They'll push me down, but I'll get around
I know a part of me you'll never get
Burning inside me, I'll never forget
You break down, but I'll fly
I might be crashing, but just for a while
You hate now, but I'll try to reach high up above
Up in the sky like a red balloon
I wanna fly until I hit the moon
Up in the sky like a red balloon, like a red balloon
Trying to find what will lift me up
Here on the ground so that I can rise
Up in the sky like a red balloon, like a red balloon
Like a red balloon
If you wanna hit me, know that I don't care
Cause I am in the air
And if you wanna get me down, well you can try
But I will only rise
(rise)
Up in the sky like a red balloon (up in the sky)
Until I hit the moon (until I hit the moon)
Up in the sky like a red balloon, like a red balloon
Higher and higher I'll be lifting up
Not looking down, never gonna stop
Up I will fly like a red balloon, like a red balloon, like a red balloon
If you wanna hit me, know that I don't care
Cause I am in the air
And if you wanna get me down, well you can try
But I will only rise
(If you wanna hit me, know that I don't care
Cause I am in the air)
