Endless Space
(Balloon)
Far
beyond
earthly soil
a breathless view
in every direction
flying in a gentle wind
up slowly out of sight
above pillow clouds
into the clear blue
great universe
ever endless
free space
high
in
the
blue
sky
over the mountain
and the seven seas
through the rainbow
close to the heaven
into the Lord's world
