Way up in the atmosphere
But I am afraid
And if I land on earth again
I'll be happy just to cut my face
While I shave
Now the sky is floating by
But I am not a cloud
And I've decided
I was not designed to fly
After all, I'm only sand
To irritate the oyster and
To wait for a pearl
And even though I must concede
Greatness has eluded me
I'd still miss the world
And I would have regrets
Were I to pirouette inside a metal jet
And I am not prepared
To sprout a pair of wings and fly
I know I should feel welcome here Way up in the atmosphere But I am afraid And if I land on earth again I'll be happy just to cut my face While I shave Now the sky is floating by But I am not a cloud And I've decided I was not designed to fly After all, I'm only sand To irritate the oyster and To wait for a pearl And even though I must concede Greatness has eluded me I'd still miss the world And I would have regrets Were I to pirouette inside a metal jet And I am not prepared To sprout a pair of wings and fly Explain Request ×
