Trampoline
He woke up in the morning on the wrong side of the border Six o'clock Tijuana times of the reporter Around a TV with no picture in the hovel of a house he was in He wasn't looking for hope between the dope and the liquor Just squeezin' for a slow death to come quicker But that's when he found hope in the little black book lying in the gutter Now he's got a plan and it won't fail There's no wall high enough to keep him out
'Cause he's found one a life's little trampolines And he keeps it in the pocket of his dirty jeans Pulls out the Gideon Bible when he needs a lift From the shackles of the world that he lives in You can bounce so high when you got something to believe in You can fly when you find, when you find your trampoline
She's only fifteen years old going on 40 Living in the flatjets of a 32nd story of the red brick building With the broken elevator she calls home She makes her way to school pass the gangs and the deamons Pass the helpless and the homeless and the end of the world believers Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To that teacher who can reach her like the father she's never known Now she's got a plan and it won't fail The streets are paved with gold when she is bound
She's found one a life's little trampolines And a teacher who believes in that child's dreams Made her study in math and her philosophy Now she's the first to go to college in her family You can bounce so high when you got something to believe in You can fly when you find, when you find your trampoline
Sometimes our greatest moments only last a second Then we're on our way back down So when you're rising, rising like a rocket You gotta keep your eyes on the ground You can bounce so high when you got something to believe in You can fly up to the sky oh nothing's out of reach when you can fly And you find your trampoline, your trampoline
