Lyrics

RED BALLOON
Words and Music by Michael J. Hamilton

VERSE 1
I FOUND MYSELF A RED BALLOON TODAY
FILLED IT UP WITH ALL MY DREAMS AND I LET IT SAIL AWAY
TOOK OFF INTO THE SKY IN THE MOST FANTASTIC WAY
I GUESS IT ONLY GOES TO SHOW THAT I MIGHT KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN WHAT THEY SAY

VERSE 2
I READ MYSELF A NEWSPAPER TODAY
TOLD ME THEY'D STOPPED THE WAR BUT THEIR STILL KILLING OVER THERE A WHOLE LOT MORE
WISH THEY'D MAKE UP THEIR MINDS AND LEAVE THE PLACE
I WISH THEY'D MAKE UP THEIR MIND CAUSE THEY'RE
ONLY KILLING ALL OF MANKIND NEEDLESS TO SAY

CHORUS
YOU SHOULD TO TRY AND BE YOURSELF CAUSE YOU CAN'T BE NO ONE ELSE
OH MY FRIENDS IT WOULD NOT LOOK LIKE YOU
YOU SHOULDN'T THINK ONLY ABOUT YOURSELF
WHEN YOUR LIVING WITH SOMEONE ELSE MY FRIEND
SO LIVE YOUR LIFE IT'S TRUE

VERSE 3
SAW MYSELF A NEW FACE TODAY
SHE LOOKED SO RIGHT AND GOOD THAT I WROTE THESE WORDS TO SAY
LAUDY MAMA DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU ... MY LONESOME LOVESICK BLUES AWAY
ONLY ONE THING I CAN SAY IS THIS DUDE WOULD LIKE YOU TO STAY WITH HIM FOR AWHILE

(VERSE 1)
