why do i keep on wishing' on falling stars?

why do i want to feel exhilaration of flying when I'm aware that every time i do, i fall?

why do climbing the tallest tree and the highest mountain make me invincible?

why do i dream of swimming the seven seas when everything that i am tells me that i will drown?

why do i want to wrestle with a gorilla and emerge a victor?

why do i want a genie for a friend and a mermaid for a sister when my mind tells me that i can't afford to live in fairyland?

why do i always wish for things i am dead certain will not be granted?

why do i keep on falling in love when i know there is nothing for me but pain?

for the sheer pleasure of bein' alive,

i dare...
