my shadow stretched before me footprints behind i breach these virgin beaches for the first and last time though i m assigned a mission i brought my own to change the disposition of the girl i left home one small step for the man she wept for a giant way to make amends and if she questions my best intentions i ll leave this monument to stand by tracing tracy s name in the sand i read the news of losing the wings we d won our wax and feathers melted too near the sun they came to claim my white suit so i shed my skin i brushed the stars from my boots and turned them in no more steps toward what i once leapt for i m trapped by gravity again and if my quest was ever questioned i left a monument to stand by tracing tracy s name by tracing tracy s name by tracing tracy s name in the sand
