Safe To Fly

Dragonfly in the pouring rain
Cast a shadow on halcyon days
Chasing rainbows running the storm
Unaware that your wings would be torn.

Sometimes i think i'm going nowhere at all
Stuck in the shelter with my back to the wall
Then i remember how it felt to come down
So i'm taking my time and i'm not going out.

Until it's safe to fly
I would be waiting ‘til the summer sky
But i'm standing by
Until i'm cleared to go
I won't be shaken by the undertow
I'm under your wing this time
And i know there's a storm outside
So i'll stay ‘til i know it's safe
Safe to fly.

Aeronaut in a heavy cloud
Staying up with the radio down
Chasing rainbows you'd rather forget
Unaware of the trouble ahead.

Sometimes i think i'm learning nothing at all
Once i've recovered i just stumble and fall
'Til i've discovered what the journey's about
I'm preparing for flight, and i'll weather it out.

Until it's safe to fly
I would be waiting ‘til the summer sky
But i'm standing by
Until i'm cleared to go
I won't be shaken by the undertow
I'm biding my time.
