Solo Flight

Runway, flight check,
gear up, pull back
Lift off, more speed,
gravity, let go of me

Heart beats, visualize
bank left, Steady eyes
Level off, clouds below
Space above, this girl flies

Cho
I don’t fight the wind
I don’t deny the air
My feathered wings will slowly trust
And I’ll be midair if I dare

Solo flight, baby bird
Wings held wide, breathing words
Find the line where land meets sky
Slow descend, take off again

Cho
I don’t fight the wind
I don’t deny the air
My feathered wings will slowly trust
And I’ll be midair if I dare
My feathered wings will slowly trust
And I’ll be midair if I dare
