We Are Erupting

We are the ones born to fly
to open wide the feathers of our wings
and like a kite without a care
to soar far above the fence

Therefore we aim far
While we are flying
fearlessly soaring through the firmament
flowing toward the spirit of the light
Fleeing the fright of the night

Way beyond the gloomy lake
out into the bright sunshine, we elevate
where the doom of fear cannot touch
where divine love is the word

Freely we fly with the power of liberty
From which our spirit was born
Purposeful to glide over lowly gravity,
as a generation of hope, energy, and drive

Ascendant over the wall
Swiftly we surf, heads held up high
an eagle above the clouds
defending this freedom flight
for our human might
within which we one

Henceforth we soar, high
surely high through the clouds
brightly we shine the higher we fly…
