High Flight Songtext

von Phil Driscoll

I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Oh I've Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds
And done a hundred things
You've never dreamed of
You've never dreamed of
Done a hundred things
Done a hundred things you've never dreamed of
You've never dreamed of

I've chased the shouting wind along
And flung my craft through footless halls of air.
Oh I, up the long burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle flew

High in the sunlit silence, Hov'ring there
I've joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds,
Done a hundred things
You've dreamed of
You've dreamed of
Done a hundred things you've never dreamed of

While, with silent lift in mind,
I joined the highest sanctity of space,
Oh I, sunward I've climbed,
I reached out my hand and touched the face of God.
