To Float Amongst The Clouds lyrics

Floating along through the clouds

The deep blue sky surrounding

Engines drone in numbing tone

The air is chilled and thin

Within this grey-winged transport

An interior of dulled white

That reflects brilliance about

To give dimensions to steel

There the wind whisks by

Heard as it'll tear at the skin

Turbulence bumps us ever on

To a destination afar, below

Tis time to depart now it's safety

Our island in the sky unsure

As the ramp lowers whining

The winds whip the frigid air

This cocoon we see unraveling

As out static lines pay out the door

And faith is in the umbilicus

Tethered to our mother ship

Away goes the static world

Away, that droning lull

And in silent solitude sailing

The chute blooms swaying so

As angels unhinged from earth

Floating bondless, save strapping

We glide downward toward land

To bring us back to its chaos

To touch is to shake the soul

Awakening the dream to the real

And in a thunderous thump

To collapse and take the fall

Again to stand on terra firma

Within the conflict borne there

And look up high, and ever wish

To float amongst the clouds again
