Flying the Cosmos

Life at its most extreme
Makes me wish that I had wings
Isn't that everybody's dream
Astronauts through the portal
Witnessing the immortal

One taste and you're forever changed
There's a crack in heart and brain
Light pours in like rain
For an instant pain is gone
There is no right, there is no wrong

Flying the cosmos
I like to see it that way
When I'm facing life up too close
And cease to be amazed
I need to back away

Flying the cosmos
I like to see it that way
When I'm facing life up too close
And cease to be amazed
I need to back away

There's a problem in reentry phase
Feels like a fall from grace
Like I'm running in place
Transformation seems remote
Unicorn to humble goat

A little problem with reentry
How to keep the wonder with me
Color everything I see
Telescope it down
And still keep both feet on the ground

How do I, when do I
Where do I find resolve
How do I walk with wings
How do I break this fall
Oh, oh-oh-oh...

Flying the cosmos
I like to see it that way
When I'm facing life up too close
And cease to be amazed
I need to back away

Flying the cosmos
I like to see it that way
When I'm facing life up too close
And cease to be amazed
And I need to back away
