I know I should feel welcome here
  Way up in the atmosphere
  But I am afraid
  And if I land on earth again
  I?ll be happy just to cut my face
  While I shave
  
  Now the sky is floating by
  But I am not a cloud
  And I?ve decided
  I was not designed to fly
  
  After all, I?m only sand
  To irritate the oyster and
  To wait for a pearl
  And even though I must concede
  Greatness has eluded me
  I?d still miss the world
  
  And I would have regrets
  Were I to pirouette inside a metal jet
  And I am not prepared
  To sprout a pair of wings and fly
