Up high toward the sky we fly
Stretch and dive, the air rips
Quills whip like ribbons in the wind
Twist and flip, our width is thinned
Plume pinned, eternal falling
Chaotic control, gravity calling
Wings sprawling, gliding on air
Elegant, feral reckless care
In a collective share, a temporal child
Is mutually sage, alone beguiled
The calling wild draws us in
The flock is ready to begin
Oh, the colors when we fly
They speak to us, confirming we're alive
In this soulful dance of dawning
This is our self discovery
Internal eyes opening
Time from its beginning to its end
Portrayed as shadows across our floor
Like a supernatural puppet show
Dancing by their own accord
A comforting cradle surrounds me
I taste the moment in each exhale
The light embraces unconditionally
The next few seconds unveil
That this will be a beautiful day
In time and tune we sway
Through our colorful funhouse in the sky
Why can't always see this universal flow?
We now combined
Beauty has never been more honest
Affirmations of glorious weakness
No failures warrant excuses
No mistakes require forgiveness
Relying, confiding in each other
Our world, our future in sync
One voice in collective song
Harmonious yet still distinct
We savor this playful innocent truth
It constructs before us while in view
And deconstructs when out of focus
We dance astride lines of reality
This experience woke us
We children of the cause
Now heir to the process
Linked to the instinct
We dance into the darkness
Every step a new beat
Every beat a new now
On this new degree we reached
The flock has shown us how
We follow trails of memory
Without them, unable to keep step
Some slipping slowly from mind's grasp
I wipe my brow and brave the next
If one day this dance is forgotten
When the world devolves or exceeds us
Though fragile, these stones were etched
With a night of simplified genius
Once laughing chaos and confusion
Fogginess followed by unison
Now sounding in united song
And the direction is now clear
Back north, Home
We children of cause
Now heir to the process
Linked to the instinct
We dance into the darkness
Every step a new beat
Every beat a new now
On this new degree we reached
The flock has shown us how
We children of cause
Now heir to the process
Linked to the instinct
We dance into the darkness
Every step a new beat
Every beat a new now
On this new degree we reached
The flock has shown us how
