Sky Song

by accipiter

Lighthearted song of sailors aboard an airship. See Sky Dragons for explanation.

Sky Song

Fly high,

Fly high,

Oh my brothers,

Fly high,

We seek the sky,

We seek the sky,

Pull on so that we, o we may fly

Like so many birds in the sky

Who sail around, above the ground,

O my friend, we seek the sky.

Fly high,

Fly high,

Oh my brothers,

Fly high,

Our ladder's up,

The cargo stowed,

The foods prepared,

We're ready to go,

The sky calls us,

Though it don't say a thing.

Sail on,

Sail on,

Sail on,

The only people who are sad

Are those who stay at home.

Sail on,

Sail on,

Sail on my friend, sail on,

For the only people who are sad,

Are those who stay at home.
