Blue, Blue Sky

(I.Bairnson)

vocal: Eric Stewart

I only know what I can see

So I imagine what could be

Where the horizon cuts the air

Look for me out there

Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky

Woah oh oh

Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky

Too Close To The Sun

(Parsons, Bairnson, Elliott)

vocal : Neil Lockwood

There must be a thousand ways

Holding us within this maze

Every path we take leads us astray

Comfort me my only son

Till the day m work is done

There’s no earthly reason we should stay

And when the wind gets under these wings

You will feel what freedom brings

Stay right by me, walk don’t run

I don’t want you flying to close to the Sun

Turn your eyes towards the light

Steal away in silent flight

The skies are calling out to you and me

Over sea and over land

God protect us with your hand

Bring us safely to our destiny

And now the wind is under our wings

We can taste what freedom brings

Stay right by me, walk don’t run

I don’t want you flying to close to the Sun

God forgive his fall from Grace

The sea conceals his resting place

Can we learn to stay behind the line

If we have the means to fly

Some of us will surely die

Being reckless was his only crime

And now the wind is under our wings

We can taste what freedom brings

Stay right by me, walk don’t run

I don’t want you flying to close to the Sun

Blown By The Wind

(I.Bairnson)

vocals: Eric Stewart

All along the shoreline

There are footprints by the sea

They head into the distance

Then they lead right back to me

I made the break to freedom

Now I'm following the dream

You're never going to get here

If you hold the old routine

Now everything that we possess

That fills our empty lives

Is only good for leaving far behind

We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don’t know where we're going

Don’t know why

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don’t know where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again

Call along the valley

And you just may find us there

I couldn’t say for sure

Because we may be anywhere

Head into the sunset

Or just wander out to sea

Wherever your heart leads you

Is the place you're meant to be

And someone who could be impressed

With ordinary lies

Could really use a little peace of mind

We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don’t know where we'll go

But we'll get by

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don’t know where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again

Now everything that we possess

That fills our empty lives

Is only good for leaving far behind

We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don’t know where we're going

Don’t know why

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don’t know where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again

I Can’t Look Down

(Bairnson)

Vocal: Neil Lockwood

Another passenger

"Your baggage thank you sir"

I don’t wanna go

What am I doing here

I feel so sick with fear

God don’t let it show

I must control myself

You must control me too

Cover my eyes ‘cause I’m so high

I can’t look down

I’m scared to fly and I’m so high

I can’t look down

They say they’ll care for me

But I would rather be

Both feet on the ground

What if the engine dies

These are no ‘Friendly Skies’

My head’s spinning round

It’s all a twist of fate

But it’s myself I hate

Cover my eyes ‘cause I’m so high

I can’t look down

Afraid to fly and I’m so high

I can’t look down

I must control myself

You must control me too

Cover my eyes ‘cause I’m so high

I can’t look down

Afraid to fly and I’m so high

I can’t look down

I can’t look down…….

Brother Up In Heaven

(Bairnson)

vocal: Neil Lockwood

A boy flies for freedom

Bit dies for the peace

In the clouds, he waits for an answer

But there’s no release

It’s strange here without you

And it’s so hard to see

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me

Oh brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me

I still see his shadow

His laugh lingers on

When I dream, we’re all back together

When I wake, he’s gone

It’s strange here without you

This was not meant to be

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me

And though we try to change the world

A flower when it’s cut will surely die

So why do men with so much hate

Destroy what they cannot create

While we all stand by

We look back in anger

But you helped us to see

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me

Fall Free

(Bairnson, Elliott, Parsons)

vocal: Steve Overland

What’s the use of worrying

If we’ll be here tomorrow

All we need to be is here today

Don’t care if you’re rich

Or if you have to beg and borrow

You can always find a way

Dive and breakaway

Fall free

Freedom’s in the air

It’s calling you

Your heart is there

Blaze across the sky

The perfect fall

The perfect high

Mother Earth looks peaceful

As we climb towards the ceiling

We must be ten thousand feet or more

Hear the windrush screaming

While we fight to curb our feelings

As we stand beside the door

Let our sprits soar

Fall free

Freedom’s in the air

It’s calling you

Your heart is there

Fall free

Blaze across the sky

The perfect fall

The perfect high

So Far Away

(Bairnson)

vocal: Christopher Cross

We say Welcome to the mission

Show us all what you can do

We need a man with vision

So we put our trust in you

And now we hope sincerely

That you’ll do the best that you can do

Oh for sure it won’t be easy

And we’ll have to risk our lives

Some will try to break us

And to cut us down to size

But just remember

There can be no consolation prize

Not in our eyes

It’s a long way to go

We can’t wait one more day

We need someone to light up the way

We may run out of time

Can you hear what we say?

Because heaven is so far away

Although time is getting short

There’s still some sand left in the glass

And now we have a living breathing

Rocket man at last

It’s time to take a step

And nail our colours to the mast

No more talk of great adventures

When it’s movement that we need

It must be our intention

That we never lose the lead

So count us down to zero

And let’s get up to speed

We’re up and away

It’s a long way to go

We can’t wait one more day

We need someone to light up the way

We may run out of time

So believe what we say

Because heaven is so far away

And so now they cry for justice

As if justice will be done

But the eye up in the sky

Was flying too close to the sun

The Challenger has fallen

And the race has now been run…..

One Day To Fly

(Elliott, English)

vocals: Graham Dye

Where does a dream belong

Locked in the mind on the edge of time

Like a slip lost in a storm

How we find the key

Longing to see, through the artist’s eye

Maybe only birds can fly

The man must be insane, who knows

A mind alive with images so strange

So close but never rode the sky

Watching the birds as they sail on the wind

Trying to figure out the reason why

Picturing wings held together with string

One day to fly

Someone said I believe

Try if you dare, you can walk on air

A dream is all you need

A circle that takes you high

Lighter than air as the Earth goes by

Through a spiral in the sky

The man must be insane, who knows

A mind alive with images so strange

So close but never rode the sky

Watching the birds as they sail on the wind

Trying to figure out the reason why

Picturing wings held together with string

One day to fly

Just a charcoal sketch on canvas

Made them laugh but now they see

That the artist had a vision

That the wind would set us free

It’s a bridge until tomorrow

Taking us beyond the Sun

As the artist paints his picture

The story’s just begun

Analyzing, criticizing

Fear of the unknown

Theorizing, visualizing

The road to take us home

If it takes forever

Someone’s gonna fly

We may never get to Heaven

But still we’re gonna try

Watching the birds

As they sail on the wind

One day to fly

Blue Blue Sky

(Bairnson)

vocal: Eric Stewart

I only know what I can see

So I imagine what could be

Where the horizon cuts the air

Look for me out there

Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky

Woah oh oh

Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky

If I could kiss this Earth goodbye

And cruise the never ending sky

Where the horizon cuts the air

Wait for me down there

Someday I’ll touch the blue blue sky

Whoa oh oh

Someday I’ll touch the blue blue sky
