Vantage

I watch with equal eyes

When I hear the roar

Of screaming machines

And see their paths cross 

With the silent hawk

I watch with equal eyes 

Those dense earth bones

Whose only dream

Is to also see with great distance

And to rule from above

The great big below

I watch with equal eyes 

As I think how far we’ve come

In another whirl around the sun

Like Icarus who wore 

His father's faulty wings

I tangle my glory in yours

I watch with equal eyes

As we fall out of the sky

Then remember how to soar
