My beloved commanded clouds With his wings spread wide Beneath the sun In his silent rapture he ran Rings around the moon With speed unheard of In altitudes untested He was the uncontested Prince of the blue skies
My beloved’s eyes Reflect the yellow horizon At the end of the ocean wall He was fearless in his quest He was a cut above the rest His daring knew no boundaries He had no fear of the unknown Way out yonder ,there he flew Where no other ‘s ever been before
My beloved’s ways up in the Air was never wayward There among the white formations He was unsurpassed A venerable hero of his generation He had set his mark so steady In the echoes of history And though his life upon the ground Was less than perfect Up there, he was without equal And this is how He’d like to be remembered For he carved his name on the soft cotton clouds And though his magic chariot Now lies majestically still, he is truly, ever truly the beloved son of the great big blue skies
