Flying floating free and slow
High or in between or low

Flying’s easy if you try
Take two steps and grab the sky

Flying all last night I found
Air is friendlier than ground

Flying slower than the wind
I took the moonlight in my hand

Flying through the midnight trees
I left the moonlight on the leaves

Flying must have been a dream
But that’s not the way it seemed.
