Up they go and down they fall

Verse 1

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

Same old path, same quiet chill.

The bucket swung like it always does,

No one asked them what it was.

The sky looked low, the air felt thin,

Like the world was folding them back in.

And every step that they took that day

Felt like it had been walked that way.

Chorus

Up they go, and down they fall,

Like it was never choice at all.

And no one says it out loud,

But the hill remembers the crowd.

Verse 2

Jack slipped first, but didn’t cry,

Just watched the ground come rushing by.

Jill stood still like she already knew,

That nothing here was new.

The bucket rolled, but it didn’t break,

Like it had learned what it could take.

And somewhere behind the bending trees,

Something whispered, “repeat this please.”

Chorus

Up they go, and down they fall,

Same old story, same old call.

And every time they climb again,

It starts before it even ends.

Bridge

The hill don’t change, the sky don’t move,

It only learns what they will prove.

That every fall becomes a line

Inside a rhyme that eats through time.

No hands reach out, no voice is near,

Just something close enough to hear:

“Try again, just one more try,”

Like the ground was learning how to lie.

Final Chorus

Up they go, and down they go,

Like they were never meant to know.

And the hill keeps what it’s shown,

Turning footsteps into stone.

Outro

Jack and Jill, again, again…

No beginning, no clear end.

Just a rhyme that won’t let go,

Softly telling them what to know.
