Take Off!
twin rumbling engines rouse
wake up
open wide
their full throated throttle
R O A R their power
thrust us
down
the runway
towards
take off!
take us
up
into
the freedom
of the wide open sky
wake up
open wide
their full throated throttle
R O A R their power
thrust us
down
the runway
towards
take off!
take us
up
into
the freedom
of the wide open sky
