All alone high above the rest
You pushed harder than the others
You built the machine no one could build
Alone and now you're flying
Blimp of paper frame of sticks
Just the right size, just the right length
Add some steam it's time to fly!

Wings of steel
How could it be?
Do you see what I see in the sky?

No faith in you, you stood your ground
Now you've left it far behind
Fuel enough to reach the new land
You are sure it is where they say
Sunlight fading, nighttime navigation
Use the stars to make it right
Add some steam it's time to fly!

Wings of steel
How could it be?
Do you see what I see in the sky?

Fly on by with me
We will see the things we came to see
Bide your  time and take it slow
The stain of man reaches high and low
And so I'll glide

Descending now this was unplanned
Birds in the tailpiece make me fall
Lake approaching what wonderful water
I can se the fish and the plant-life
Doubtful I'll make it through this
I hope you'll remember me forever
Add some steam it's time to fly!

Wings of steel
How could it be?
Do you see what I see in the sky?
How could it be?
Do you see what I see in the sky?
Do you see what I see?
