Clouds - Text Analysis

Author's Note: I wrote this piece to reflect on the song "Clouds" by Zach Sobiech. I also wrote this as my text analysis    piece. 

Well I fell down, down, down

Into this dark and lonely hole

There was no one there to care about me anymore

And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge

You were sitting there holding a rope

And we’ll go up, up, up

But I’ll fly a little higher

We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

When I get back on land

Well I’ll never get my chance

Be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands

Maybe someday we’ll take a little ride

We’ll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine

And we’ll go up, up, up

But I’ll fly a little higher

We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

If only I had a little bit more time

If only I had a little bit more time with you

We could go up, up, up

And take that little ride

And sit there holding hands

And everything would be just right

And maybe someday I’ll see you again

We’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end

And we’ll go up, up, up

But I’ll fly a little higher

We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

This song was written by a 17 year old boy who was diagnosed with cancer and only had a few months to live. This piece was written for his family and friends that he loved. I really like this song because he tells you that just because he is going to die it doesn't mean that you wont ever see him again. I think that he knows that he will see all of them in heaven one day so he isn't scared that he will soon die.  Another point I think is in this song is that he wanted to live his life to the fullest until he died. This song is a really good song for anybody who is going through a rough time or just wants to listen to it. Overall I really like this song and I think it has some really great points made in it.
