Out of Body

Brief the flight - Check the bird
Light the light- Lead the herd

Call control - See the target
Commence the roll - Now a magnet

Take a hit - Calmly viewing
Me do my bit - Canopy spewing

Ride the rail -  A Wingless bird
My own contrail - Scream silent word

Seat falls clear - Chute snaps open
Stillness I hear - Clear ground I’m hope’n

Hit and roll - Release the chute
Quickly stroll - To hide my suit

Find a hole - Draw my gun
Search my soul - Is no fun

Chopper comes - Lifts me high
Takes me home - Just might cry

Watched me move - From feet away
Naught to prove - Mum, to this day
