To touch the sky hath fueled my soul Amongst these clouds I rapturously roll Armed for war but my heart at peace Throttles forward and my hands at ease My wings they lift me above the Earth I fully embrace this reckless mirth Man created the vessel I ride Tho tis God who instilled this burning pride I know not when I will trade these wings For baubles of old men or other things A cane and chair on a restive porch Or a blaze of glory as Olympus torch To soar amongst my fallen kin I shant trade but to be with you again My soul is at home tho my body smote But to my comrades this life did I devote The cloak of service exacts its toll At the whim of the fates and Aries roll Mourn me not for I chose my way My only regrets I could never say I touched the sky and tempted fate Above it all now I elevate To those I left I still watch from on high A brother a father and husband who can still fly
