Unassisted Human Flight

One step closer
so high over
all that's under
is so below her

I'm not touching anything
I love my aerofoil, my wing
I'm less stressed by the updraft
thanks in part to my aircraft.

One step closer
no cloud cover

We must take full advantage of this high pressure system

I can see our homes from up here
despite this dense cloud bank
they look so clear

It's like our height and vantage
put our homes in alignment
I'll watch your six and you can watch mine

This is lightness, this is bliss
This isn't free fall
we can control this

If I drop my arm
I'll take a swoop to the side
I'll grade your barrel rolls if you critique mine

The ground's approaching, the engines are dead
Your black box readout's the saddest thing I've ever read.
Let's watch our street get bigger as we hit our top speed
I can't help but feel eternally freed

Promise me we'll never touch ground
I hate the Earth's pull. I hate that rushing sound.
If we can't float forever
on cerulean skies
I'll drop my nose, descend and just dive

We must take full advantage of this high pressure system
