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 />
