In a forest so large
Beside a pond so small
Floats a small grey balloon
Tied down to a rock
It cannot fly
It wishes to be free
Someone untie that poor balloon
Let that grey balloon soar
A red balloon
A small child
That red balloon tied to its wrist
He spots the grey balloon
Has the time finally arrived?
The boy watches the balloon
Curious as can be
The balloon looks it's best
It wants to impress
But it seems to have failed
The boy walks away
Taking his bright red balloon
The grey balloon is left alone
Tied by the pond
It wants to fly away
It's dreamed of that for so long
But it will try again tomorrow
And the day after that
For the balloon may be grey
But its yellow inside
