Flight, the Mother who embraces us. Flight, the Mother who sets us free. For Flight's sake, I will spread my wings on the sky and offer my highest prayer. I will stir the good winds, I will chase the fierce storms from heaven. I will make all paths gentle, above and below. I will lift my kin who have wings that tremble And sing well to my kin who pass others with respect. The ones flying free, I will never take their wings, Or act as if I know the best path for them to fly. To these ends, as Heaven asks me, I will take in breath, and dive from the cliffs, Offering my body and soul to be carried as the wind wishes, Until the last feather falls.

Flight, the Mother who sets us free.
For Flight's sake, I will spread my wings on the sky and offer my highest prayer.
I will stir the good winds, I will chase the fierce storms from heaven.
I will make all paths gentle, above and below.
I will lift my kin who have wings that tremble
And sing well to my kin who pass others with respect.
The ones flying free, I will never take their wings,
Or act as if I know the best path for them to fly.
To these ends, as Heaven asks me, I will take in breath, and dive from the cliffs,
Offering my body and soul to be carried as the wind wishes,
Until the last feather falls.
