Lyrics
INSPIRATION ONE
That's the patch of sky I've always known was mine
I know a man can't fly, but I've just gotta try
Got these here balloons, lawn chair, and BB gun
Gonna shoot the moon, in Inspiration One
(chorus:)
(You say) It's wrong, I'm crazy
(You say) it shouldn't be done
You laugh just like at the Wright boys
but they flew and we won
(You say) It's illegal, and stupid, and dangerous
(You say) I'll slam into the ground
But the history of folly and genius says a man
can't just sit around
Fifteen thousand feet, so quiet up above
Freeze for me a picture of this world I love
Floating on a cloud, shining in the sun
Practicality zero, Inspiration One
(repeat chorus)
So many dreams deferred, shriveled on the ground
Here's a thing I've learned: Only you can lift you up
Only you can bring you down
(repeat chorus)
