Track Insight / Lyrics
Morning sunbeams slice the attic dust
Glitter motes caught like fireflies in flight
Tiny vortex drawing in a child's stray hand
Time travel to forgotten summers, magic nights
He grips the plane, a fragile wooden heart
Craning neck to catch a breeze, a potential orbit
Invisible currents, side winds all conspiring
To send him soaring, leave the world behind, unburdened
Taking off on instinct, gravity defying
A whispered prayer on paper wings ascends the sky
Glitter dust devils spinning, sunlit trail behind
Freedom's launch from a boy's imagination
Updrafts of wonder lapse and swoop, playful reminders
Of limits yet to be tested, dreams yet unspoken
Through windows high and open soars his paper quest
For thrills and for escapes, for stories yet untold
He grips the plane, a fragile wooden heart
Craning neck to catch a breeze, a potential orbit
Invisible currents, side winds all conspiring
To keep him aloft, drifting, untethered, free
Taking off on instinct, gravity defying
A whispered prayer on paper wings ascends the sky
Glitter dust devils spinning, sunlit trail behind
Freedom's launch from a boy's imagination
For moments stretched between the hand that casts
And the hand that catches, he is unconfined
In this ephemeral jet stream, where weightless he can be
A tiny dot of possibility, fading to a memory
Motes of glitter falling back to the floor
Yet the story written on the air remains
Of a boy who took off, who touched the sun
And for an instant, his spirit outgrew its frame
Papercut whispers fade to black
