Up, Up & Away - John Schroeder Orchestra

The poor balloon is left out but eventually flies free.
Use key words and visuals to create a poster about why it's best to not follow the crowd in life.
Letting Go
This bunch, they never liked me
A balloon alone, left out
Too big and pink and heart-shaped
Too afraid to bob about
But one day at the fairground
Feeling overblown and fat
I saw a human pointing
at our drifting habitat
So, wobbling with excitement
Bullies barged me out of sight
“Pick me!” they helium-squeaked
as they dreamed of taking flight
But then I felt a tugging
Earthly-bound, I met a grin
A boy reached out and smiled
at his reflection in my skin
“Who needs a silly human?”
hissed the fading, grumbling gang.
“I'm going to let you go now,”
the boy looked up and sang.
His tiny fingers opened
and I watched him disappear
and I never want to come down
for I feel so free up here
