Look upon the milky sky,
See that open patch of civil twilight
Surrounded by silky white?
Look upon that speeding jet,
See that soaring metallic (wo)man
Surrounded by freedom and a sunset?
I wish I could fly away
in the freedom of the day
to endure the horrors of the night
just to live for another flight
an escape of mundane life
a pause to everyday strife
a moment in time to forget all that's dark
a droplet of joy creates a ripple mark.

Look upon the milky sky,
See that open patch of civil twilight
Surrounded by silky white?
Look upon that speeding jet,
See that soaring metallic (wo)man
Surrounded by freedom and a sunset?
I wish I could fly away
in the freedom of the day
to endure the horrors of the night
just to live for another flight
an escape of mundane life
a pause to everyday strife
a moment in time to forget all that's dark
a droplet of joy creates a ripple mark.
