lyrics

what happens when a water bird takes flight
and we believe in the sound of its wings
we fly slowly we fly slowly
listen to the song the water sings

ascending where the water turns to air
disappearing where the water disappears
we fly slowly we fly slowly
singing of the flight that we share

do you feel the lightness in your feet
do you feel the pavement leave the street
oh come quickly oh come quickly
and bring us back the songs of life
the life that lies in the death that lies all around

the people who in darkness greet the night
the people who in darkness see
the night fly in on grey-blue wings

do you feel your feathers growing an itch to fly
to land upon the soil, the sand
the water, to be the hunter, the living and the prey

man made the jetplanes so we could fly
fly
fly
fly
