|
I pressed my face against the glass |
|
Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other |
|
The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail |
|
Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky |
|
Awaiting the ship they had told me would come |
|
Quietly anticipating that which was to come |
|
I couldn't yet see you, still obscured by the city |
|
But towers of glass reflected your coming |
|
Silhouetted on the sunrise, did |
|
I blink as |
|
I watched? |
|
Did I close my eyes? |
|
I was not alone, |
|
I think it was the first time |
|
Watching you rise splendid and graceful |
|
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown |
|
I laughed as |
|
I waved and imagined you saw me |
|
In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings |
|
A million faces gazing upwards in wonder |
|
A million faces together and cheering and smiling |
|
You were the warmth of their hearts |
|
You were the sum of their dreams |
|
In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives |
|
Giving this feeling of wonder |
|
I could not imagine |
|
You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey |
|
This feeling and morning had opened a door |
|
I stepped into a new world, |
|
I watched you fly |
|
Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams |
|
Imagined a new world, lands far away |
|
And imagined those faces as you hung in their sky |
|
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world |
|
I'm leaving ground, a new world and watching you fly |
|
I stepped into, |
|
I stepped into a new world |
|
I was not alone, |
|
I think it was the first time |
|
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world |
|
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world |
|
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything, leaving everything |
|
I step into this new world leaving everything |
|
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world |
|
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world |
|
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that |
|
I have ever known |
|
I step into this new world leaving everything, leaving everything |
|
Leaving everything |
