A Better Way to Fly
Earthbound born to the infinite light
Gravity’s enemy pondered the skies
He envied the birds and the arc of their flight
As unquiet shadows cloaked the night
He dreamed a better way to fly
Soon one day he’d leave the ground
The world would watch him floating by
Blinding lights through open doors
His fortune for a place in line
In his mind there’s something more
Than all the money left behind
Guided by the myth of saints
A passageway will be revealed
Faith and hope and love remain
The last act of a grand ordeal
He dreamed a better way to fly
He dreamed a better way
Earthbound born to the infinite light
Unquiet shadows cloaked the night
He dreamed a better way to fly
He envied the birds
The arc of their flight
He dreamed a better way to fly
