let's make the news today
into a paper plane
and throw it up so high
it hits the sun and catches fire
and when it all comes down
and covers every town
the traffic will turn back
a holiday will come out of ash
please forget the rainclouds
up above your head
let them come and go
way behind the rainclouds
there's a great big world
we'll never know
we'll go up to the roof
and get a stray balloon
sail away from home
away from all this fire and smoke
and when we hit the sea
we'll slip easily
bright as solid gold
we'll watch it float
on and on
please forget the rainclouds
up above your head
let them come and go
way behind the rainclouds
there's a great big world
we'll never know
