We built our hearths upon the wing
Above the grey and heavy ground
To hear the high-altitude engine sing And watch the clouds go spinning
round (ahhhh)
Steel and canvas, copper pipes and steam
Rising higher
than a dreamer's dream
We are the riders of the great airship fleet Where the wild
currents and the horizons meet Living on wings made of iron and
grace Drifting forever in the open space (ooh-ooh)
We tend the brass and oil the gears Suspended in the endless
blue
Forget the earth and all its fears With every sunrise born anew (ooh)
Wings of iron Grace in the sky
(higher and higher)
