Airships

[00:46.09] I pressed my face against the glass,
[00:49.89] Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
[00:57.66] The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail,
[01:04.27] Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky
[01:13.33] Awaiting the ship they had told me would come,
[01:22.24] Quietly anticipating that which was to come
[01:34.34] I couldn't yet see you. Still obscured by the city
[01:48.42] A towers of glass reflected your coming
[01:55.07] Silhouetted on the sunrise
[02:02.38] Did I blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?
[02:10.60] I was not alone, I think it was the first time
[02:31.64] Watching you rise splendid and graceful,
[02:35.60] I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
[02:41.27] I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
[02:44.76] In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings,
[02:48.37] A million faces gazing upwards in wonder
[02:54.27] A million faces together and cheering and smiling
[02:59.33] You were the warmth of their hearts, you were the sum of their dreams
[03:04.60] In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives
[03:13.33] Giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine
[03:19.00] You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey
[03:24.92] This feeling and morning had opened a door.
[03:28.43] I stepped into a new world I watched you fly
[03:35.04] Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
[03:39.64] I imagined a new world, lands far away,
[03:45.51] Imagined those faces as you hung in their sky
[03:53.16] I'm leaving ground stepping into a new world.
[04:09.38] I'm leaving ground, a new world. And watching you fly
[04:17.16] I stepped into, I stepped into a new world
[04:27.69] I was not alone, I think it was the first time
[04:36.47] I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
[05:44.65] I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
[05:51.28] Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything
[05:57.24] I step into this new world leaving everything
[06:08.32] I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
[07:27.42] I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
[07:33.98] Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known
[07:44.97] I step into this new world leaving everything
[07:51.04] Leaving everything, leaving everything.
