    Hole In The Sky

    by: RPWL

    I thought as a child
    I'd feel like an eagle
    Rain on the windscreen
    I'm captured in technical solitude
    The higher I am
    The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
    And all the words unspoken you told me
    Soon they'll fade away
    Riding on top of the clouds
    Up into the gleaming gold of an afternoon
    I set my controls for the heart of the sun
    To reach for the stratosphere
    The higher I am
    The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
    And all the words unspoken you told me
    Soon they'll fade away
    Time's never been on our side
    The haze between death or alive
    Revealing the secrets of life
