Description
"See how they fly
Up there, so high
Gliding on the clouds
Dancing with the birds

Winged elves, they are
Circling in the heavens, far
Their cradles are the clouds so white
Their kingdom is the deep blue sky

Flocked in dance of harmony
Singing children's songs of joy
Embraced in ever-loving dream
Soft to touch in angel realm

My love, my daughter, my child
How beautiful you are
So young, bright and fair
I'll remember you forever this way"

"Father, will I
Fly one day?"

"Oh my child,
My darling girl,
It can never be.
Never wings for you or me

For we are born of the earth
Forged from molten rock and dirt
We toil and sweat in heat and sun
It is our job to carry on"

"Oh father, how I wish to fly
It looks so pretty in the sky"

I look up to the sky once more
A sigh of wind whispers truth:
"To fly, a child of the earth
Is boyed on wings of hope"

"Will I ever,
in my life,
sleep in clouds
and drift away?"

As I stand her up to leave,

"It could be one day"
