Something About The Wind

I got the pictures today I framed the perfect one It captured the three of us Ready for a daylight run Huddled together in a gondola Watching a fading moon Waiting to cruise the heavens Floating in a hot air balloon Something about the wind As it lifts us free and clear That makes promises more real And betrayal less severe Daybreak steals our breath As we rise into the sky Until the quiet reminds us What we feel will pass us by Then we will give it back To someone in line to fall Who will never understand What it takes to have it all For a few moments Away from the scars and schemes In a sky calm with the peace Of anticipation and dreams We may have believed On the outskirts of heaven For a moment we were a family Broken children rising together Something about the wind As it lifts us free and clear That makes redemption more real And losses less severe Something about the wind As it lifts us free and clear That makes today more real And yesterday less severe
