Intro :

Oh I have sli pped the surly bo nds of earth

And da nced the sky on l aughter silvered w ings

Sunwa rd I 've cli mbed and joined the tumbling mirth

Of s un-split clouds and done a hundred t hings

I've whe eled and so ared and swu ng h igh in the sunlit s ilence

Hovering t here I've chase d the shou ting winds aloft

An d flung my ea ger craft through footle ss hal ls of ai r

The higher we fly th e farther we go

The c loser we are to eac h other

The d arker the night the brighter the star

In pe ace go my si sters and br other

Up u p the lo ng delirious bu rning blue

I've to pped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Whe re never l ark nor e ven eagle flew

A nd while w ith si lent li fting mind I trod

The hi gh un trespassed sa nctity of spa ce

Put o ut my hand and t ouched the fa ce of God

The h igher we fly the farther we go

The c loser we are to each other

The darker the night th e brighter the star

In pe ace go my si sters and br other
