Learning How to Fly

[Куплет 1] The field was blue with morning, The crew called out our names; You held the basket steady As the canvas caught its flame. Then grass and fence lines dwindled, And the town became a map; You laughed, “look, there’s the river,” And i forgot to catch my breath. [Алдынғы қайырма] The burner gave a little roar, Your hand found mine once more. [Қайырма] We’re learning how to rise together, Trusting what we cannot see; With the whole wide day unfolding Underneath our drifting feet. You say, “ready for wherever?” I say, “anywhere with you.” First light, open sky, new adventure— And your hand to hold me through. [Куплет 2] A hawk drew one slow circle, Sun spilled across the plain; Your hair lifted in the updraft, You grinned and said my name. We passed above the orchards, Where the blossoms blurred to white; The pilot tipped the basket, And we waved to waking life. [Алдынғы қайырма] No map could tell us where we’d land, Still, you reached and took my hand. [Қайырма] We’re learning how to rise together, Trusting what we cannot see; With the whole wide day unfolding Underneath our drifting feet. You say, “ready for wherever?” I say, “anywhere with you.” First light, open sky, new adventure— And your hand to hold me through. [Көпір] When the fields turn into ribbons, When the compass can’t decide, I can meet the unplanned moment With your shoulder at my side. We don’t need to know the landing To be glad we took the ride; Every new horizon feels like home When we’re up here side by side. [Final chorus] We’re learning how to rise together, Trusting what we cannot see; With the whole wide day unfolding Underneath our drifting feet. You say, “ready for wherever?” I say, “anywhere with you.” First light, open sky, new adventure— And your hand to hold me through. [Аутро] First light, open sky, You and i, learning how to fly.
