Efflix 5. Float Among the Clouds of Jupiter

No ground below, no edge in sight
Amber rivers fold through white
The cabin tilts, the gauges spin
A continent of storms begins
The lightning writes across the haze
In signs that lived before our days
We cut the engines, lose our speed
And let the giant take the lead
Every mile becomes a sky
Every answer passes by
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Where the thunder has no shore
We came here looking for a kingdom
Found a world too vast to own
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Watch the scarlet storm-cloud roll
For one minute, nothing matters
But the wonder of it all
Bands of copper, gold and cream
Turn beneath us like a dream
A moon moves slowly past the sun
Then fades before its shadow’s gone
The radio predicts descent
But all the numbers lose their sense
Your hand is steady on the glass
A thousand storms go drifting past
No map can hold this moving sea
No word can say how small we seem
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Where the thunder has no shore
We came here looking for a kingdom
Found a world too vast to own
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Watch the scarlet storm-cloud roll
For one minute, nothing matters
But the wonder of it all

No coast to name, no flag to raise
No road to measure, mark or trace
We only came to look inside
And leave our certainty behind
No ground to conquer, nowhere to stand
Only lightning, wind and endless bands
Some worlds were never made for us —
They only teach us how to trust
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Where the thunder has no shore
We no longer need a kingdom
We don’t need to own it all
Float among the clouds of Jupiter
Watch the scarlet storm-cloud roll
For one minute, we are weightless
For one minute, we are small
No ground below
No edge in sight
