Swing up high among leafy bows so fair,

And touch the sky with these bare toes.

Let me push away worries and cares,

That I can just simply be.

Back and forth rising up so high,

For this moment I can pass Jupiter so far.

When I finally come back from reality,

I will wrap this moment around my shoulders and breathe in my swinging peace.
