The last day For the last time A small team of five Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye Not to each other, But to our wings. The wings that we have grown Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To the skies we'd no longer Soar through, To the fragile ties we've built Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To a home that we have found A cozy one of five and more To everything we enjoy Through everything we have held through Now it's time to say goodbye All our efforts And all our dreams Now all amounting to naught Through everything they have held through Now it's time to say goodbye Thrown into a brand new place With strangers, maybe enemies We have to start again Through all the pain to learn square one Now it's time for us to die Have our legacy Fade away Replaced by another one Never to be continued again, To just live in our memories We may or may not Choose to leave But either way, it's still set: What's ours will still Be taken away But in our hearts Our very core We'll still be yearning To once more, Soar We'd always belong To the Air, though Grounded, Our eyes turn Skywards Forevermore

Shedding Wings
The last day For the last time A small team of five Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye Not to each other, But to our wings. The wings that we have grown Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To the skies we'd no longer Soar through, To the fragile ties we've built Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To a home that we have found A cozy one of five and more To everything we enjoy Through everything we have held through Now it's time to say goodbye All our efforts And all our dreams Now all amounting to naught Through everything they have held through Now it's time to say goodbye Thrown into a brand new place With strangers, maybe enemies We have to start again Through all the pain to learn square one Now it's time for us to die Have our legacy Fade away Replaced by another one Never to be continued again, To just live in our memories We may or may not Choose to leave But either way, it's still set: What's ours will still Be taken away But in our hearts Our very core We'll still be yearning To once more, Soar We'd always belong To the Air, though Grounded, Our eyes turn Skywards Forevermore
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ~Leonardo Da Vinci We'll always be Air Batch 7.
