Aloft
Aloft (5:05)
(M. Lane)
A faded image from years ago
You see the things it doesn’t show
There was so much locked behind your eyes
You waved so many thoughts goodbye
Take a picture with your one way ticket
Before you go
Though it seems like nothing that you see is real
At all
Watch the movie that’s in your head
You dream a different end instead
You see it play out in clearing skies
And finally feel the will to rise
Take a picture with your one way ticket
Before you go
Though it seems like nothing that you feel is real
At all
Sailing, aloft
You went missing
But now you’re here
Sailing, aloft
You are on your way
That captured moment of who you were
Inspired lightning
And thunder to stir
Took that moment to open your eyes
Awaken you dreams
Take off and fly
Sailing, aloft
You went missing
But now you’re home
Sailing, aloft
You are on your way
Store the movies and photos away
The rearview mirror is your friend today
Your destination is a better place
The confidence is written on your face
Take a picture with your one way ticket
Before you go
Though it now seems everything has become real
After all
Sailing, aloft
You went missing
But now you’re home
Sailing, aloft
You are on your way
Sailing, aloft
You have found this place of peace
Called home
Sailing, aloft
Now you’re here to stay
