John Denver - Flight Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • This song was first released on the it's about time album. it is the only album it has been released on.
  • Oh, i have slipped the surly bonds of earth
  • And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings
  • Sunward i've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
  • Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
  • I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence
  • Hovering there i've chased the shouting winds aloft
  • And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air
  • The higher we fly, the farther we go
  • The closer we are to each other
  • The darker the night, the brighter the star
  • In peace go my sisters and brothers
  • Up, up, the long delirious burning blue
  • I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
  • Where never lark nor even eagle flew
  • And while with silent lifting mind i trod
  • The high untresspassed sanctity of space
  • Put out my hand and touched the face of god
  • The higher we fly, the farther we go
  • The closer we are to each other
  • The darker the night, the brighter the star
  • In peace go my sisters and brothers
  • Words by gillespie magee jr., john denver and joe henry
  • Music by lee holdridge
  • Adopted from the poem by john gillespie magee jr.
