Brothers in arms - Dire Straits

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Vol en formation

Because I fly
I Laugh more than other men
I look up and see more than they.

I Know how the clouds feel
What it’s like to have blue in my lap
To look down on birds
To feel freedom in a thing called the stick…

Who but I can slice between God’s billow legs
And feel them laugh and crash with his step ?
Who else has seen the unclimbed peaks ?

The rainbow’s secret ?
The real reason birds sing ?

Because I fly
I envy no man on earth.
