Lyrics
Seems eternal
The need to gain perspective
To be reflective
Be birds eye view objective
Let's ride those thermals
And up goes the shout
"All out! All out!"
Like a giant catapult
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there
Sailing currents in the sky
He is flying high
He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
Thermal rider
In his life
He tries to do the same thing
As when he is on the wing
And use the warmth that love can bring
To rise to heights
And soar above it all
Before the inevitable fall
He sees it all
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there
Sailing currents in the sky
He is flying high
He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
Thermal rider
It gets gusty
It gets blustery
It gets bumpy
It gets buffety
And what goes up must come down they say
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there
Sailing currents in the sky
He is flying high
He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
Thermal rider
The need to gain perspective
To be reflective
Be birds eye view objective
Let's ride those thermals
And up goes the shout
"All out! All out!"
Like a giant catapult
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there
Sailing currents in the sky
He is flying high
He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
Thermal rider
In his life
He tries to do the same thing
As when he is on the wing
And use the warmth that love can bring
To rise to heights
And soar above it all
Before the inevitable fall
He sees it all
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there
Sailing currents in the sky
He is flying high
He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
Thermal rider
It gets gusty

And what goes up must come down they say
He hitches a lift on a column of air
Catches a drift to way up there

He stays up there for hours and hours
And flies for miles and miles
All with no power
Just falling with style
He watches the birds of prey
Signalling the way
Eternal glider
