Walking in the Air
Howard Blake Lyrics

We're walking in the air
We're experiencing a sensation of floating or flying through the sky as if we're weightless

We're floating in the moonlit sky
We're moving through the sky in a state of weightlessness, while being surrounded by the glow of moonlight

The people far below are sleeping as we fly
As we soar through the sky, we're aware of the people below who are peacefully asleep, unaware of our magical flight

I'm holding very tight
I'm grasping onto something securely in order to maintain my balance and remain airborne

I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm traveling through the sky, surrounded by a deep blue hue that evokes a sense of mystery, adventure, and wonder

I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
I'm discovering that through the power of connection and companionship, I'm able to reach new heights and experience the freedom of flight

Far across the world
From our vantage point high in the sky, we're able to see vast distances and the beauty of the world stretched out before us

The villages go by like trees
The small human communities appear tiny and insignificant, reminiscent of the way trees look when viewed from high above

The rivers and the hills
The natural features of the world, such as the winding rivers and rolling hills, are visible from our vantage point in the sky

The forests and the streams
As we fly, we can see the lush greenery of the forests and the sparkling water of the streams that run through them

Children gaze open mouth
The sight of our magical flight leaves the young onlookers with open mouths, amazed and awestruck

Taken by surprise
The children are caught off guard by the unexpected and wondrous sight of us flying through the sky

Nobody down below believes their eyes
From the perspective of those on the ground, the sight of us flying through the air seems impossible, and they struggle to believe what they're seeing

We're surfing in the air
As we glide through the sky, we're essentially riding along on the air like a surfer rides a wave in the ocean

We're swimming in the frozen sky
Although we're not literally in the water, the sensation of being weightless and surrounded by the cool blue of the sky creates a similar feeling to swimming

We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
From our aerial perspective, we can see the snow-capped mountains and icy terrain below us, as if we're floating lazily over the top of them

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Without warning, we quickly descend down toward the mysterious depths, as if we're birds of prey diving for our target

Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
Our descent seems to have awakened some powerful, primordial creature that was resting beneath the ocean's surface

We're walking in the air
Once again, we're feeling the sensation of weightlessness and freedom as we soar through the sky

We're dancing in the midnight sky
Our magical flight evokes feelings of joy and playfulness, as if we're dancing in the vast expanse of the dark, starry sky

And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
Our fantastical flight has attracted the attention of everyone around us, who are greeting us with wonder, amazement, and awe
