One More Sunrise

I'm taking one more sunrise over the blue

One more line of silver stretching into view

With these steady hands and a heart still true

I'll carry the sky until the sky carries me through

The flight plan's folded in the pocket of my coat

A thousand quiet miles in every word I wrote

The runway hums beneath the morning turning gold

And every year behind me is a story I can hold

I've known the storm, I've known the clear

I've kept my course through every year

I'm taking one more sunrise over the blue

One more line of silver stretching into view

With two set hands and a heart still true

I'll carry the sky until the sky carries me through

There's a photograph of home beside the instrument light

A younger face beside me learning how to make it right

Now the horizon opens like a door I've waited for

I'm not leaving what I love

I'm finding what comes next in store

The years have left their honest mark

But I still know my way through dark

I'm taking one more sunrise over the blue

One more line of silver stretching into view

A few steady hands and a heart still true

I'll carry the sky until the sky carries me through

And when the wheels come down, I'll know what I always knew

There's another open morning

Waiting past this view

I'm taking one more sunrise

One more journey
