Please lend me your wings let me fly over mountains <br />As night is now fading into the sunrise, <br />Above the horizon where cold rugged shadows <br />Now melt to the light of the glorious skies. <br /> <br />So high up above let me sail to the distance <br />And ride on the clouds that in scarlet do glow, <br />Then soar through the air with the beams shining brightly <br />That light up my feathers wherever I go. <br /> <br />I'll sense there the warmth of the dawn all around me <br />I'll float on the thermals and into the blue, <br />While feeling the freedom alone in the heavens <br />An ocean unending, a marvellous view. <br /> <br />And then I'd look down on the earth in its glory <br />That's lifting from darkness to herald the day, <br />And I'd never rest I would fly on forever <br />For there I would gaze at that wondrous display. <br /> <br />Please lend me your wings let me fly over mountains <br />As night is now fading into the sunrise, <br />Where hope is eternal so I'll go on dreaming <br />And soar in the light of the glorious skies.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-lend-me-your-wings/
