lyrics

If God had meant man to fly
He’d have given him the wings of a fly
If God had meant man not to dream
He wouldn’t have invented the trampoline

For every Icarus that burned
There was another who watched and learnt
His grandparents were born before the Wrights
Yet would end up on long distance flights

And though Nathan was wracked with doubts
It didn’t mean he couldn’t bounce
Higher and higher into the sky
A dreamer who would pretend to fly

And when he got into space
Where gravity has lot its race
He swam against the stellar tide
And looked down upon mankind

Nathaniel on his trampoline
Flying high as all his dreams
An acrobat above the sky
For he knew we meant to fly

Before he’d come back down to Earth
He’d speak to the whole universe
And let them know before he died
That at least one young boy had tried.
