My shadow stretched before me Footprints behind I breach these virgin beaches For the first and last time Though I'm a**igned a mission I brought my own To change the disposition Of the girl I left home One small step for The man she wept for A giant way to make amends And if she questions My best intentions I'll leave this monument to stand By tracing Tracy's name in the sand I read the news of losing
The wings we'd won Our wax and feathers melted Too near the sun They came to claim my white suit So I shed my skin I brushed the stars from my boots And turned them in No more steps toward What I once leapt for I'm trapped by gravity again And if my quest was ever questioned I left a monument to stand By tracing Tracy's name By tracing Tracy's name By tracing Tracy's name In the sand
