Flight
Tim Allen Herman 1960 (Detroit, MI)
Oh, majestic beast of lore,
High above the clouds we soar.
High above the cars and trains,
Above the storm before it rains.
With shining wings and body sleek,
Take us to your highest peak.
Take us to the edge of space,
Another time, another place.
Bring us gently to the ground,
Help us make it safe and sound.
Help us find the things we must,
For in you lies all our trust.
