We people,
Who float and flutter and flee in the feeling
Hovering above, dangling in the gust
Waiting in the wings
In the crosswinds for fear of falling gracefully
Close enough to kiss a cloud, climbing sunlight
Sprawled across the treetops
Flung at the speed of trust, the jewel of the earth below
Outstretched, arms swallowed
God glowing compass
Fragile as a wayward wing frail as flying to be weightless
We who escape the teeth of pain
Over fields of folktales blackbirds against the blue blaze
We who map the galaxies with the curl of our wishes
Watering worlds within in the slip of sleep we wander
Where the air is rare, starry eyed
Walking on thoughts, waving at a time long gone
Diving, diving, diving in the depth of dreams
We glisten, jumping at the moon, beaming
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
(Here)
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
(Here)
Sometime we feel like
We don’t got nowhere else to go but up
We people,
Who float and flutter and flee in the feeling
Hovering above, dangling in the gust
Waiting in the wings
In the crosswinds for fear of falling gracefully
Close enough to kiss a cloud, climbing sunlight
Sprawled across the treetops
Flung at the speed of trust, the jewel of the earth below
Outstretched, arms swallowed
God glowing compass
Fragile as a wayward wing frail as flying to be weightless
We who escape the teeth of pain
Over fields of folktales blackbirds against the blue blaze
We who map the galaxies with the curl of our wishes
Watering worlds within in the slip of sleep we wander
Where the air is rare, starry eyed
Walking on thoughts, waving at a time long gone
Diving, diving, diving in the depth of dreams
We glisten, jumping at the moon, beaming
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
(Here)
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
(Here)
Sometime we feel like
We don’t got nowhere else to go but up
