Airships

I pressed my face against the glass
 Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
 The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail
 Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky
 Awaiting the ship they had told me would come
 Quietly anticipating that which was to come
 ♪
 I couldn't yet see you
 Still obscured by the city
 A towers of glass reflected your coming
 Silhouetted on the sunrise
 Did I blink as I watched?
 Did I close my eyes?
 ♪
 I was not alone, I think it was the first time
 Watching you rise splendid and graceful
 I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
 I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
 In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings
 A million faces gazing upwards in wonder
 A million faces together and cheering and smiling
 You were the warmth of their hearts
 You were the sum of their dreams
 In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives
 Giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine
 You unlocking these thoughts
 No book and no picture could ever convey
 This feeling and morning had opened a door
 I stepped into a new world I watched you fly
 Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
 Imagined a new world, lands far away
 And imagined those faces as you hung in their sky
 ♪
 I'm leaving ground stepping into a new world
 I'm leaving ground
 A new world and watching you fly
 I stepped into, I stepped into a new world
 ♪
 I was not alone, I think it was the first time
 ♪
 I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
 I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
 Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything
 Leaving everything
 I step into this new world leaving everything
 ♪
 I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
 I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
 Now I'm leaving home
 Leaving everything that I have ever known
 I step into this new world leaving everything
 Leaving everything, leaving everything
