about
A raw ballad about space exploration and dreams.
lyrics
Standing here upon the Earth
Just a speck on a tiny rock
Looking up with hope tonight
For a glimpse of two tiny dots
Speeding through the sky
They soar into view together
The grandest work man has ever done
Breaking from gravity’s tether
Chorus:
If only I could fly
Above the sky
See the Earth
From that heavenly perch
If only I could feel
That wondrous thrill
That never goes away
If only I could fly
I looked right into the eyes
Of one of the lucky few
There’s wisdom there beyond
What philosophers ever knew
He tried to explain in words
The wonders that those eyes beheld
But even a full-blown picture show can’t
Bring us knowledge life has withheld
Bridge:
I know my chances to go
Are miniscule at best
But that doesn’t mean my dreams
Will ever be at rest
The tremor of the engines
Roaring as they ready
To lift me up so high
Let’s just go already!
In my mind I feel the power
And anticipation growing
So easy to imagine even
Without ever actually knowing
Chorus Out:
If only I could fly
Above the sky
See the Earth
From that heavenly perch
If only I could feel
That wondrous thrill
That never goes away
If only I could fly
If only I could fly
Above the sky
Just a speck on a tiny rock
Looking up with hope tonight
For a glimpse of two tiny dots
Speeding through the sky
They soar into view together
The grandest work man has ever done
Breaking from gravity’s tether
Chorus:
If only I could fly
Above the sky
See the Earth
From that heavenly perch
If only I could feel
That wondrous thrill
That never goes away
If only I could fly
I looked right into the eyes
Of one of the lucky few
There’s wisdom there beyond
What philosophers ever knew
He tried to explain in words
The wonders that those eyes beheld
But even a full-blown picture show can’t
Bring us knowledge life has withheld
Bridge:
I know my chances to go
Are miniscule at best
But that doesn’t mean my dreams
Will ever be at rest
The tremor of the engines
Roaring as they ready
To lift me up so high
Let’s just go already!
In my mind I feel the power
And anticipation growing
So easy to imagine even
Without ever actually knowing
Chorus Out:
If only I could fly
Above the sky
See the Earth
From that heavenly perch
If only I could feel
That wondrous thrill
That never goes away
If only I could fly
If only I could fly
Above the sky
