Grounded

Saw these ships lost out at sea,
Had no one to return to, so,
Instead insisted they weren't lost at all.

Cut through horizons.
Where the sun meets the city lights,
Delicate twilight blue,
That I only carry people through.

Heard a stranger whisper,
"I'll bet you my best dress you could touch the skyline if you wanted to."
I can. I do. (it's a lot harder without you).
Leaving one seat free every flight just in case. Just in case.

So teach me to scream without my lungs,
I could never touch the sky.
A pilot has taught me everything except how to fly.
