Supersonic Skydive

Supersonic Skydive

Tell me, what's your helmet like?

Can you hear the roar of breaking

barriers of sound?

Or is it silent in your dome

Have they built you like a home

A cradle for the jumping few

Who chose to do as daring do?

Supersonic Skydive,

Tell me, what's the view there like?

Can you see the rounding planet

Arching back in every stretch?

And do the stars look different here

Beyond the blinking atmosphere,

And when you rushing, sink away,

When do you find the blue of day?

Supersonic Skydive

So lucky to be so alive

And as you plummet to the ground,

Tell me, do you look up, or down?
