Official lyrics by
When we're young, it's hard to believe that we're going to die.
But Jesse understands the Big Picture of the universe & he's not daunted by death.
But, since everyone must die, he, absolutely, knows that he will too.
When he does "succumb to gravity", he will, let go, happily.
When he's falling, he will even turn around & smile back at his beloved.
(Song done in a sort-of childhood lullaby tempo. Very deep. Very much emotion.
