Ha!
Laugh out!
Look at yourself, walking on the sky!
You are now King of all that you dreamt
No one's there to bring you down to earth -
No one's here to tell you be real
No one will suggest you laugh with the volume down
This is your moment! Laugh it out in a smile of a rainbow!
Cause from where you stand upside down,
Those seven colours smile back at you
Every step you take explodes in colour!
Don't be afraid to look down -
All that's there is a cloud,
Another cloud,
A big, big blue sky,
And the merry black pupil
Of the outside universe
Watching you happily
Laugh!
At last,
After hearing those cliché phrases
So many times
And wriggling them out of stubborn memory
And cementing them into those answer sheets -
At last,
You can see the truth of it!
The 'seventh heaven'!
Standing on 'cloud nine'!
You're there now!
Laugh!
