Takeoffs & Landings
(by Oleksandr Chebotarenko)

A blurred runway beneath the rain, 
Engines whisper your name again — 
Luanda fades in silver light, 
Cabinda waits beyond the night. 
The thunder rolls like a fading tune, 
Underneath the crest of a weary moon. 
Last calls linger in the misty air, 
Memories woven, a threadbare prayer. 

Chorus
Takeoffs and landings, hearts in between, 
Counting the beacons through weather and wind. 
Over the ocean, through silver and rain, 
We rise, we fall, I speak your name. 

Skyline whispers of battles fought, 
Lives lived heavily and yet caught. 
Takeoffs and landings, bodies on hold, 
Stories of love in the night unfold. 
Wings draw the circle over the sea, 
A quiet prayer, then gravity. 
In this dark symphony of turbulent dreams, 
Tangled in moments, or so it seems. 

Chorus
Takeoffs and landings, hearts in between, 
Counting the beacons through weather and wind. 
Over the ocean, through silver and rain, 
We rise, we fall, I speak your name. 

Every cloud that drifts away 
Keeps one small echo of that day — 
When time stood still, the earth was near, 
You were the voice, and I was the ear. 
The essence of longing fills the skies, 
As memories reignite and never die. 
Hopes of freedom on the broken ground, 
In this darkened journey, we are found. 

Chorus
Takeoffs and landings, hearts in between, 
Counting the beacons through weather and wind. 
Over the ocean, through silver and rain, 
We rise, we fall, I speak your name. 

Outro 
So here we are, anchored in flight, 
Chasing horizons that blur in the night. 
With every turbulence, I hold the flame, 
Takeoffs and landings, I speak your name.
