A star / Takes flight
Climbs high / Flies far
Flies beautifully / On the chinook1
Along the cliff2
Flies high / Flies too close
To the cliff3 / Brushes the cliff
Tilts / Flies too low
Sinks / Wobbles, and waves
Plunges / Smashes
Fully loaded4 into the sea
So blue
So clear
A hero
A star
A star
A hero
