Yonder

Did you just feel that?
I know I did.
Back where we came from
I was just a little kid.

High in the clouds
Over the sea,
We're soaring above
A long history.

All that remains,
A strong mystery,
High in the clouds
Over the sea.

The wind's blowing hard.
We're in the jet stream.
A lofty canard,
Things aren't as they seem.

How did we get here?
Let's drop down and see.
The world reappears
But it isn't to be.

Civilization and
Creatures long gone.
There's no simple equation
For what brought us along.

A word to our guests,
We've nothing to hide.
We're all on this quest,
A time bending ride.

High in the clouds
Over the sea,
We're soaring above
A long history.

Whether we get home
Or lost to the sky,
The people who love us
Will eventually die.
