landing gear

[Verse] Down on the tarmac, where the sun meets the steel, I’m just a the landing gear, but I know how I feel, I see the base, with the hustle and the grind, People and planes, all working in time. [Verse 2] I love the sights, of the crew on the ground, The smell of jet fuel, the familiar sounds, But when the plane starts to climb, it’s all noise and fear, In the dark, I’m blind, wishing I was still here. [Chorus] But when the engines roar, my heart starts to race, I’m lifted up high, to a dark, lonely place, In the belly of the beast, where the light’s out of reach, I’m just holding on, to the memories beneath. [Bridge] Then something shakes, and the system breaks, I feel the wind, and my fear finally fades, The earth below, it’s a beautiful sight, I see it all now, from this new, dizzying height. [Verse 4] I’ll return to the base, when the flight’s finally done, Back to the ground, where I’ll wait for the sun, But now I know, what it’s like to be free, To see the world from above, and feel the earth’s peace.
