lyrics

Clouds below afloat
Above a roof
A world up here.
Will someday we find a way to live in the air?

Ground seems stable
but not always.
Sometimes the earth shakes under us.
Eluding gravity a city in the air will float
Imagine history without borders to care about.
Sailing and drifting
On billows of mist and cotton.

Clouds below afloat
Above a roof
A world up here.
Will someday we find a way to live in the air?
Yearning higher our homes rise with our hearts
Yielding to no weightiness see how movable roots can be.

Clouds above.
Clouds below.
So far below.
