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
