I Belong Up Here
(c)2002 Phillip Smith


I can feel the roaring wind
Blowing across my face
I can see the open emptiness
Of nothing between me and space
The clouds beneath my feet
Cut me off from the world below
The blue sky above my head
Gives me all I need to know

There's wind over my wings
And clear skies all around
This is why I belong up here
And not down on the ground

Faster then the birds I fly
The freedom is what I so crave
The simple joy of being in air
And for this, I am called brave
I dive down through the clouds
I shout with the thrill of speed
I roll my wings in celebration
I know this is all I need

There's wind over my wings
And clear skies all around
This is why I belong up here
And not down on the ground

My troubles do not exist here
My body and soul do not know fear
Me and my plane are all there are
Everything else just seems so far
Alone in the sky is where I play
Alone in the sky is where I'll stay

There's wind over my wings
And clear skies all around
This is why I belong up here
And not down on the ground


There's wind over my wings
And clear skies all around
This is why I belong up here
And not down on the ground
