Airfield

A field, desolate and underfoot
A tarmac river flows
I wait to depart, an inconceivable art
When you’re no wings and all elbows
Oh, it’s so cold, I watch my breath unfold
It wraps us in a cloud of gloom
Through adversity
Hope must not become the casualty
It’s common for people to believe
Everything happens for a reason
I’m sorry, that’s false and it’s poison
But even if there is no purpose
To the things that you have gone through
An ordeal can reveal an airfield
Stop, disown fear and I’ll be here
If you need a friend, my dear
So you’re down on your luck, you’re down
Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down
But that don’t mean you’re out
No, it don’t mean you’re out, now
So you’re down on your luck, you’re down
Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down
But that don’t mean you’re out
No, it don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out
So you’re down on your luck, you’re down
You’re down on your luck, you’re down
But that don’t mean you’re out
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out
No, it don’t!
So you’re down on your luck, you’re down
Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down
But that don’t mean you’re out
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out
No, it don’t!
So you’re down on your luck, you’re down
Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down
But that don’t mean you’re out
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out, now
It don’t mean you’re out
When the wind’s against you
Remember this insight
That’s the optimal condition
For birds to take flight
Now the wind’s against you
Don’t give up the fight
