As The Crow Flies

All here is good Still and quiet A branch Blossom heavy Lit by the sun Flowers in the meadow In full bloom Midsummer Stars fall Earthbound Catching the uplift Taking to the skies Slip the bonds of childhood And home No glance behind All is still and quiet There she goes Into the fields The turning of the wheels The sound of children's laughter Fading with the distance Measured out in years Take flight to the skies With hopes and dreams Hopes and dreams Safe landings, my loves Always Straight as the crow flies The beat of wings The great escape Build you some Bridges back to earth To solid ground Hope not to fall Or drift away Take flight to the skies With hopes and dreams Hopes and dreams Good journeys, my loves Straight and true Take flight to the far skies Distant as you dare Don't let anybody tell you That you're too close to the sun All here is good Still and quiet
