Part C Text reading<br />
Walking in the Air<br />
1<br />
We’re walking in the air<br />
We’re floating in the moonlit sky;<br />
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.<br />
2<br />
I’m holding very tight,<br />
I’m riding in the mid-night blue. 5<br />
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you.<br />
3<br />
On across the world,<br />
The villages go by like dreams.<br />
The rivers and the hills;<br />
The forests and the streams. 10<br />
