Air Song

You were born, from heaven came down And caught your heart in a cloud All your time on the earth couldn't drown The words that rang clear and loud Your heart is here in the sky Make wings, dear, and fly It is such a perfect night All systems ready We are good for engines on In a rush of wind and a flash of steel And the flap of a dozen sails We broke our ties with the earth Just like two kids in a fairy tale Close your eyes and hold out your hands And feel the wind in your hair Hear the shimmering strains as we ride On wings of warm evening air We've turned our sails to the ground We're heavenward-bound The sky's our highway now We'll paint the heavens With a brush made out of stars Where rain or shine is a matter Of which side of the clouds you're on And if the good Lord wills, and the north wind rises We'll be far away by dawn You were born, from heaven came down And caught your heart in a cloud
