I thought as a child
I'd feel like an eagle
Rain on the windscreen
I'm captured in technical solitude

[Chorus]
Fly, the higher I am
The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
And all the words unspoken you told me
Soon they'll fade away

Riding on top of the clouds
Up into the gleaming gold of an afternoon
I set my controls for the heart of the sun
To reach for the stratosphere

[Chorus]

Time's never been on our side
The haze between death or alive
Revealing the secrets of life
I'll fly to the grievous light
