[Verse 1]

Sun is rising higher

Daylight getting brighter

There is so much left I must get done

Stitching for the canvas

Roping for the wing flaps

Slowly building up my flight machine

So many others only look down on me

But one day I will soar above them all

All this work confounding

Stuck here on the grounding

But I have a feeling it will not be that long

Finished all the repairs

Steady wind and calm air

Time to take a path up to the sky

Fear of failing again

Keeping planted again

Will I make it in one piece this time?

Why would I want to leave

The land I’m made of?

Gotta beat the sunset

No more time for regret

Get up on the mark set

Only take a deep breath

[Verse 2]

Ground is getting smaller

Eyes are getting wider

Now I wish I wasn’t afraid of heights

Heart is beating faster

Throat is getting drier

I don’t think I’ll make it home tonight

So this is what it feels like to be flying

I never felt so small and so alive

Clouds underneath me

Fear far behind me

I never want to come back down

Still climbing higher

Sun setting lower

Stars make their way to me tonight

Celestia knows where I will end up flying

Maybe I’ll go see the mare up in the moon

Then it won’t be lonely

She won’t be the only

One to have a magic

Flight machine
