Wind north/east runway zero three
Until here I hear the engines
Like an arrow, it passes by
And it roars in my ears
And the wet asphalt trembles
Like a veil of dust the rain
Until it takes off and it floats
Towards the sun

Above the clouds
Freedom must be boundless
All fears, all worries, they say
Remain hidden underneath and then
What seems big and important to us
Suddenly becomes insignificant and small

I watch it for a long time
See it climb the clouds
Until the lights one by one
Disappear in the rain gray
My eyes have already
Lost that tiny point
Only from afar sounds monotonous
The humming of the engines

Above the clouds
Freedom must be boundless
All fears, all worries, they say
Remain hidden underneath and then
What seems big and important to us
Suddenly becomes insignificant and small

Then everything is quiet, I go
Rain penetrates my jacket
Someone is making coffee
In the air traffic control barrack
In the puddles floats gasoline
Shimmering like a rainbow
Clouds reflect in it
I would have liked to fly along

Above the clouds
Freedom must be boundless
All fears, all worries, they say
Remain hidden underneath and then
What seems big and important to us
Suddenly becomes insignificant and small

Above the clouds
Freedom must be boundless
All fears, all worries, they say
Remain hidden underneath and then
What seems big and important to us
Suddenly becomes insignificant and small
