Together We’ll Fly

• Read 'Together We'll Fly'

  I see this future in my dreams. Together We’ll Fly.

  If you go before me across that great abyss,

  That seems to divide the heavens from earth,

  I will wait for a certain morning star to rise

  And I will celebrate your eternal birth.

  Tears may flow down my cheeks of clay

  And my chest may ache for your tender light

  That was shown to me often through your smile

  And now shines down gently in the night,

  But you will be dancing in a new dimension

  And that’s something I must hold fast.

  I will honor what has come before,

  But I won’t hold on to the past.

  When your spirit sheds its earthly shell

  And finds its place in eternity,

  There are no limits to where I will find you.

  I’ll see you in the mountains, in the trees and the sea.

  I promise I’ll listen for your whispering song

  In the fire that warms me and the rain that renews.

  I’ll find it in babbling streams and the desert

  And then I will sing it back to you

  Then some sweet day perhaps you’ll see my star

  Rising to take its place in the sky

  I’ll join your dance with the angels

  And together again – we’ll fly.
