Walking in the Air
Aled Jones; John Altman: Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti Lyrics

We're walking in the air
We are experiencing the sensation of walking through the air.

We're floating in the moonlit sky
We are suspended, levitating in the sky illuminated by the moonlight.

The people far below are sleeping as we fly
As we fly, those on the ground are unaware and asleep.

I'm holding very tight (I'm holding very tight)
I am embracing tightly, holding on with all my strength.

I'm riding in the midnight blue (I'm riding in the midnight blue)
I am traveling through the dark blue sky, surrounded by its mystery.

I'm finding I can fly so high above with you (Riding in the midnight blue)
With you, I am discovering the ability to soar through the sky at great heights.

On across the world (on across the world)
We are traversing the entire globe.

The villages go by like dreams (the villages go by like dreams)
As we fly, the towns and settlements below seem unreal and fleeting, like fleeting dreams.

The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams
We observe and pass over natural wonders such as mountains, rivers, and forests.

Children gaze open mouthed
Youngsters below stare in amazement with their mouths wide open.

Taken by surprise
They are caught off guard and astonished by what they see.

Nobody down below believes their eyes
People on the ground are so amazed by our flight that they can hardly believe what they are seeing.

We're surfing in the air (we're surfing in the air)
We are riding the currents of the atmosphere as if we are surfing on waves.

We're swimming in the frozen sky (we're swimming in the frozen sky)
We are navigating through the icy blue sky like we are swimming through water.

We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
We are gently moving over snow-covered peaks that seem to be floating by us.

Suddenly swooping low
Abruptly, we fly down closer to the ground.

On an ocean deep
We are now over an ocean that seems vast and bottomless.

Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
We stir up a great sea creature from its slumber with our flight.

And walking in the air
We continue the sensation of walking through the sky.

We're dancing in the midnight sky
We are now gracefully moving in the dark sky as if we are dancing to music only we can hear.

And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
People who observe our flight greet us with awe and amazement as we pass by.

We're walking in the air
We continue to walk through the air as we journey on.
