Lyrics
[Verse]
Flyin' through the clouds
I'm a scoundrel in the sky
Lost my lover
Took my wings
Left me high and dry
In my garage
I'm a pilot with no flyin' machine
Gotta build it from scratch
The pain can't intervene
Engines roarin'
Gears shiftin'
As I mend my broken heart
Every wrench turn
Every bolt tightened
Is a brand new start
Ain't nothin' gonna ground me
Not a broken wing or a broken soul
Gonna take to the skies
Gonna reach my ultimate goal
[Verse 2]
I rev the engine
Feel the power beneath my fingertips
Each piece
Every part
A symbol of my resilient spirit
The echoes of my husband's laughter that used to fill this space
Will now be drowned out by the engine's roaring embrace
In this world so dark cold and obscene
I'm a pilot scoundrel, fierce and keen
With grief and loss, I make amends
For the love of flying, my heart transcends
Bold and unbroken, I rise above
Through the pain, I rediscover love
In the sky, I find my peace
My wings rebuilt, my soul released
(Chorus)
I'm a scoundrel in the sky
Lost but not defeated, ready to fly
The engine's roar, the gears shift
In my garage, my spirits lift
Flyin' through the clouds of strife
I reclaim my passion, my life
With every turn of the wrench
I soar above the pain, entrenched
In the world of men on the edge
I carve a path, defy the ledge
Grief and love entwined in flight
As I rise from the darkness, into the light
(Bridge)
The wind whispers tales of love and loss
But in the cockpit, I find my cross
Between the earth and heavens above
I navigate, guided by love
(Chorus)
I'm a scoundrel in the sky
Lost but not defeated, ready to fly
The engine's roar, the gears shift
In my garage, my spirits lift
Flyin' through the clouds of strife
I reclaim my passion, my life
With every turn of the wrench
I soar above the pain, entrenched
Flyin' through the clouds
I'm a scoundrel in the sky
Lost my lover
Took my wings
Left me high and dry
In my garage
I'm a pilot with no flyin' machine
Gotta build it from scratch
The pain can't intervene
Engines roarin'
Gears shiftin'
As I mend my broken heart
Every wrench turn
Every bolt tightened
Is a brand new start
Ain't nothin' gonna ground me
Not a broken wing or a broken soul
Gonna take to the skies
Gonna reach my ultimate goal
(Verse 2)
I rev the engine
Feel the power beneath my fingertips
Each piece
Every part
A symbol of my resilient spirit
The echoes of my husband's laughter that used to fill this space
Will now be drowned out by the engine's roaring embrace
In this world so dark cold and obscene
I'm a pilot scoundrel, fierce and keen
With grief and loss, I make amends
For the love of flying, my heart transcends
Bold and unbroken, I rise above
Through the pain, I rediscover love
In the sky, I find my peace
My wings rebuilt, my soul released
(Chorus)
I'm a scoundrel in the sky
Lost but not defeated, ready to fly
The engine's roar, the gears shift
In my garage, my spirits lift
Flyin' through the clouds of strife
I reclaim my passion, my life
With every turn of the wrench
I soar above the pain, entrenched
The love of flying, my guiding star
In the gritty , I find who I am
A pilot scoundrel, broken yet whole
Rising above, with a warrior's soul
