Flight (The Higher We Fly) Lyrics

Intro:Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earthAnd danced the sky on laughter silvered wingsSunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds and done a hundred thingsI've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloftAnd flung my eager craft through footless halls of airChorus:The higher we fly, the farther we goThe closer we are to each otherThe darker the night, the brighter the starIn peace go my sisters and brotherUp, up, the long delirious burning blueI've topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark nor even eagle flewAnd while with silent lifting mind I trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of spacePut out my hand and touched the face of GodChorus:The higher we fly, the farther we goThe closer we are to each otherThe darker the night, the brighter the starIn peace go my sisters and brother
