I'm easing out Of a single file line, Possessed by early morning dew.
And rays of light that shine Through the tops of trees The teachers herd us
towards the bus With hands like dried up leaves. Not like the green So high
above and below. Now I am an airplane
oo-ee-oo-ee-oo.
(Solo Comes in here)
A moments hesitation
In the dream.
This airplane's tainted by long living,
But in this moment I am a child.
With wings spread wide and weaving
Through the others, More than simply fearless, I Can catch the wind
And turn cartwheels through the trees.
In a halo of light Reflecting off The yellow bus
I catch the glares From the grass. The children stare
Their knees are scabbed. Their chance to fly is passing by
And on their knees Spread wrinkled lines.
We all must die Like petals wilt
And who am I To stand on stilts?
But still obliged To ask a question sound
As any for the asking While still floating above the ground.
Do your children care to join me? No, we're all afraid
Afraid of fright. I don't want to be alone
Suspended on parade
With a fear of heights.
