Aloft

ALOFT

I’m flying, in the air:

The wind and the clouds carry me and are company there.

I’m flying, past all care:

And I won’t come down ‘til the wind blows me someone to share.

‘Cause I’ve been bound and heavy far too long

And way up here I finally found this song.

Now all I need is someone who can sing in harmony.

I’m flying in the air:

Aloft and alone on my own why should I care?


She’s sailing, far below:

The wind in her hair fills her sail and it’s making her go.

She’s sailing, does she know:

Her wind carries both of us forward whenever it blows?

I hear her sing I know she shares this song.

I pray she’ll just look up before I’m gone.

But prayers are often hushed by winds

that tear true love apart.

She’s sailing, does she care:

We’re sailing together on sea and up in the air?


Together that’s the key:

My song inside her, her song inside me.

Together we will see:

If together’s the way we’re meant to be.

But I can’t seem to get her to look up.

It must be ‘cause the wind below’s too rough,

And if I raise my voice this loud I hope it’s quite enough!!!

Together that’s the key:

I see her blue eyes, they finally see me.

Aloft and sailing her & me:

ONE in the air and ONE on the sea.

Sailing/ ONE in the air and ONE on the sea.

Together/ ONE in the air and ONE on the sea.
