Underneath the Big Dipper
We gathered stars,
We took off both our slippers
And sank into the water
Then we swam beneath that ridge
We met a man who sold us what we needed
He gave us directions

And we swim, and we fall
Hold my hand through it all
If we jump into the water
Would we swim or would we drown?
If we build a set of wings then
Could we fly or just fall down?
And if you keep talking to me
Through this darkness, through this night
I'll be alright

Though we were without a map
Without a plan, without a destination
We knew where we were going
We put feathers on our butts
Then climbed so we could see all that below us
Before we let go

And we fly, and we fall
Hold my hand through it all
If we jump into the water
Would we swim or would we drown?
If we build a set of wings then
Could we fly or just fall down?
And if you keep talking to me
Through this darkness, through this night
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
I'll be alright

Would you hold me so I'd never be afraid
As the sky falls down around us now?
If you tell me everything will be okay
I'll believe you, you don't have to tell me how

If we jump into the water
Would we swim or would we drown?
If we build a set of wings then
Could we fly or just fall down?
And if you keep talking to me
Through this darkness, through this night
I'll be alright
