Song Time Part 3

It's time again to unleash another song from my attempt at writing a musical comedy about crazy people!

I called it 'Asylum' for anyone interested. Was going for a whole double meaning deal, what with it being a mental institution but the characters finding shelter and salvation there as well, etc.

(S) is a character named Sebastian and [C] is a character named Carol.
The parts annotated as such are sung by those respective characters.

Enjoy the cheese!

“TRAMPOLINE” (6TH MUSICAL NUMBER)

(S) We’re blind in the night, crying eyes can’t see
Darkness goes through you and hollows your heart
And you’ve hit rock bottom as low as can be
But the sky’s still above you imagine how far
You can reach, ‘cause the ground is a trampoline

(S) So won’t you come and take a bounce with me through the air
Let’s scatter your worries and forget all your cares
I promise you’ll feel just like you’re flying
This is life’s happy hour and, darling, I’m buying

[C] Do you really think that we can fly?

(S) I know it

[C] Will these sad times really pass by?

(S) There’s no way that we can blow it

[C] So what is it that I must do?

(S) Let’s sing it now just me and you

(S & C) Jump for it as we grow wings
Take to the air like a fish to the sea
We’ll blast past those troubling things

(S) If you promise to take flight with me

[C] I do

(S) Then just smile to the widest degree

[C] I was crawling and scratching to break through the wall
Whenever I got close I managed to fall
But now I’m not worried, and now I’m not scared
Because I know I’m not alone down there
And together we’ll bounce to that glorious scene

(S & C) There’s no rocks at the bottom
It’s all just a trampoline
All the ground beneath us is simply a trampoline

(S & C) All the ground beneath us is simply a trampoline
