Defying Gravity
Jimmie Dale Gilmore Lyrics

I live on a big round ball.
I am one among many on this earth.

I never do dream I may fall.
I don't let fear stop me from living my life.

And even if one day I do,
And even if something does go wrong,

Well I'll jump off and smile back at you.
I'll face it head on and with a smile on my face.

I don't even know where we are.
I'm not sure of my place in the universe.

They'll tell you we're circling a star.
People say we're all just rotating around a central point in space.

Well I'll take their word, I don't know
I'll trust them because I don't actually have the answers.

But I'm dizzy so it may be so.
But I do feel small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I'm riding a big round ball.
I'm experiencing life on this earth.

I never do dream I may fall.
I'm not afraid of the unknown or the possibility of failure.

And even the high must lay low
Everyone, no matter how successful, must come back down to earth eventually.

So when I do fall I'll be glad to go.
So if something does go wrong, I'll accept it and move on.

I live on a big round ball.
Once again, I'm just one small part of the world around me.

I never do dream I may fall.
I don't let fear control me or keep me from taking chances.

And even if one day I do, Well I'll jump off and smile back at you.
And even if I fail, I won't let it break me, I'll continue to face life with optimism and positivity.
