Wings of Azure Skies

For everyone who gazes to the skies

Trapped are we on the hot, dusty earth
We fallen birds who long for the wind
Imprisoned in safety and direct command
Paths of tar and hardened clay
Cages of steel, concrete, and glass
Only tarnish our dreams of the the gold horizon

Oh pigs who laugh and walk over us
Call us rebels, heretics, and firebrands
Don't ask us to change the color of our souls
Give us the freedom we so yearn for

In both hands do I hold us aloft
At my feet do I carve out my own path
To my left the world turns below my wing
To my right you, my friend, sit with beaming eyes
On my back our names are engraved

Together we chase the winds
Among the clouds we ride
Ethereal beams of glorious sunlight  
Pierce the milky layers above
The wind howls in joy as it greets us
Enveloping itself around our wings in delight

Soaring across the plains we glide
On the wings of azure skies
