Lyrics
Overhead, how I fly
See the city going by
Wonderland, calling me
From my flying fantasy
I feel so peaceful
In this special place
Look down below, where busy people race
Running 'round, how they scurry
Everyone in a hurry
Here I float with no worry
What a rare, mystic ride
Clouds of amber by my side
See the sun, going down
As I glide above the town
Hot air balloon ride
Magic carpet flight
Amazing view, where ocean meets the sky
Sky above, sea below me
Life has so, much to show me
Take the time, just to know me
-Instrumental break -
What a rare, thrilling ride
Clouds of amber by my side
See the sun, going down
As I glide over the town
Hot air balloon ride
What a lovely flight
Amazing view, where ocean meets the sky
Take the time, just to know me
Life has so, much to show me
Sky above, sea below me
Journey's over
I'm back on the ground
