Flight (the Higher We Fly) Lyrics - John Denver

Intro: 

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth 

And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings 

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth 

Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things 

I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence 

Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft 

And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air 

Chorus: The higher we fly, the farther we go 

The closer we are to each other 

The darker the night, the brighter the star 

In peace go my sisters and brother

Up, up, the long delirious burning blue 

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace 

Where never lark nor even eagle flew 

And while with silent lifting mind I trod 

The high untrespassed sanctity of space 

Put out my hand and touched the face of God

The closer we are to each other 

The darker the night, the brighter the star 

In peace go my sisters and brother
