Earthbound born to the infinite light
Gravity’s enemy pondered the skies

He envied the birds and the arc of their flight

As unquiet shadows cloaked the night
He dreamed a better way to fly

Soon one day he’d leave the ground
The world would watch him floating by

Blinding lights through open doors
His fortune for a place in line
In his mind there’s something more
Than all the money left behind

Guided by the myth of saints
A passageway will be revealed
Faith and hope and love remain
The last act of a grand ordeal

He dreamed a better way to fly
He dreamed a better way

Earthbound born to the infinite light
Unquiet shadows cloaked the night
He dreamed a better way to fly
He envied the birds
The arc of their flight
He dreamed a better way to fly
