Sunshine

The ground slopes endlessly
will I be there soon?
I can't tell where I am
clouds obscure my view
when my fuel runs out
I won't know what to do
I only want to know
am I nearing you?

I'm looking forward as I fly
at the sunrise
dust keeps getting in my eyes
I lost my way amid the sky
while on this ride
the sun is burning up my eyes
I'm going blind

The engine fills my ears
I can't hear anything
my restraints have shaken free
I might just lose a wing
What they say is true
The trip itself is the killing blow
This sky is peircing blue
I think my chances are low
