Safe To Fly

Dragonfly in the pouring rain

Casts a shadow on halcyon days,

Chasing rainbows and running the storm,

Unaware that your wings would be torn.

Sometimes I think I'm going nowhere at all,

Stuck in the shelter with my back to the wall,

Then I remember how it felt to come down,

So I'm taking my time and I'm not going out

Until it's safe to fly,

I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,

But I'm standing by

Until I'm clear to go,

I won't be shaken by the undertow...

I'm under your wing this time,

And I know there's a storm outside,

So I'll stay til I know it's safe, safe to fly.

Aeronaut in a heavy cloud,

Staying up with the radio down,

Chasing rainbows you'd rather forget,

Unaware of the trouble ahead.

Sometimes I think I'm learning nothing at all,

Once I recovered I'd just stumble and fall,

Til I discovered what the journey's about,

I'm preparing for flight, and I'll weather it out

Until it's safe to fly,

I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,

But I'm standing by

Until I'm clear to go,

I won't be shaken by the undertow

I'm biding my time

Sometimes I think I'm going nowhere at all,

Stuck in the shelter with my back to the wall,

Then I remember how it felt to come down,

So I'm taking my time and I'm not going out

Until it's safe to fly,

I could be waiting 'til the summer sky,

But I'm standing by

Until I'm clear to go,

I won't be shaken by the undertow

I'm under your wing this time,

And I know there's a storm outside,

So I'll stay til I know it's safe, safe to fly.
