Twenty years ago I rode

By helicopter to the sky

I laughed at gravitation

For a moment I was free



They say I never landed

You know they may be right

It looks better from above

With some distance in between



To leave is never easy

Perhaps it shouldn't be

But return is even harder

Yes, return is harder still



I often dream of flying

Far above the city streets

I beat my wings and leave

For Cairo or New York



To leave is never easy

Perhaps it shouldn't be

But return is even harder

Yes, return is harder still



I can go to many places

But there's no one there to meet

And the sky is a lonely place

Just me and the silent clouds



To leave is never easy

Perhaps it shouldn't be

But return is even harder

Yes, return is harder still
