I came out of the water fresh and baptised
A new man with a new name and a new pair of eyes;
I gave myself to you like a bird to migration -
On the wing, my new skin shining sun gold corona
I crossed over the ocean to a new land
Over frozen Atlantic and still waves of ice
Our plane travels westward with night
Land cut by rivers lies outstretched beneath
These sleek wings that slice through the sky
With sleepy eyes half closed I fly
Carried between real life and dreams;
Is this the call I was listening for
The god that reaches me?
We glide with the weight of the world
Far below us, lost beneath cloud
Airborne, a home in-between
Where we were and where we will be
Circling to land, the earth takes my feet
And we head out to the street
