Free to fly…
Bye-bye

[Verse 1]
The flight prize
Bones pneumatized
I just realized
Free to fly to the sky

[Bridge]
Spread your wings
The wind sings
Hollow bones
Make you flight prone

[Chorus]
I take to the sky
I love to fly
Spread your wings and try
Is it any wonder why?
[Break]
Fly!

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Break]
Free to fly…
Bye-bye

[Verse 2]
Keel and sternum
If I only had some
I could feel inside
I could feel the glide

[Bridge]
Spread your wings
The wind sings
Breastbone
Makes you flight prone

[Chorus]
I take to the sky
I love to fly
Spread your wings and try
Is it any wonder why?
[Break]
Fly!

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Break]
Free to fly…
Bye-bye

[Verse 3]
Remiges lift and thrust
A must (Lift and thrust)
Contour aerodynamics
Atmospheric music

[Bridge]
Spread your wings
The wind sings
Breastbone
Makes you flight prone

[Chorus]
I take to the sky
I love to fly
Spread your wings and try
Is it any wonder why?
[Break]
Fly!

[Outro]
Take to the sky
Fly! (Bye-bye)

[End]

A SCIENCE NOTE
A bird’s anatomy is uniquely adapted for flight, and several key features contribute to their ability to fly:

1. Hollow Bones: Birds have lightweight skeletons with hollow bones that reduce their overall weight while maintaining strength. These hollow bones are reinforced with struts and air sacs, providing structural support without adding unnecessary mass.
2. Keel and Sternum: The keel is a prominent ridge along a bird’s breastbone (sternum) to which flight muscles attach. Strong flight muscles are necessary for powering the flapping motion of the wings. The size and shape of the keel vary among bird species based on their flight capabilities and requirements.
3. Large Flight Muscles: Birds have large, powerful flight muscles that are attached to their wings and breastbone. These muscles provide the force needed to move the wings through the air during the upstroke and downstroke of flight.
4. Wing Shape: The shape of a bird’s wing is optimized for aerodynamic efficiency. Most birds have long, narrow wings with a curved leading edge and a tapered trailing edge. This design helps generate lift and reduce drag during flight.
5. Feathers: Feathers play a crucial role in flight. Flight feathers (remiges) are specialized for generating lift and thrust, while contour feathers provide streamlined aerodynamics and protection. Birds can manipulate their feathers to control their flight, adjusting their angle and shape as needed.
6. Tail Feathers: The tail feathers (rectrices) help birds maintain stability and control during flight. By adjusting the position and angle of their tail feathers, birds can make rapid changes in direction and speed.
7. Efficient Respiratory System: Birds have a highly efficient respiratory system that enables them to extract oxygen from the air more effectively than mammals. This is crucial for sustaining the high energy demands of flight.

These adaptations, along with other physiological and behavioral traits, enable birds to achieve powered flight and navigate through the air with agility and precision.

What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Break]

[Verse 1]
The wind came in
And blew the clouds away
Forecast: clearing all day
Game on

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Bass]

[Break]
What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Verse 2]
The wind blew by
Clearing away the sky
Forecast: clear and dry
Kiss your troubles goodbye
(Goodbye)

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills]

What did She say?
“Huff and puff
And blow it all away”

[Verse 3]
The wind blows and flows
The sky turns crystal blue
And maybe, who knows
She’ll blow yours away, too

[Bridge]
The wind shear
Dropped near
Forcing the sky to clear

[Chorus]
All my troubles blown away
At for the day
All my troubles on their way
To yesterday

A SCIENCE NOTE
Wind shear refers to the variation in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. It can have significant effects on cloud formation and cloud cover in several ways:

1. Disruption of Cloud Formation: Wind shear can disrupt the vertical development of clouds by causing turbulence and mixing in the atmosphere. This turbulence can inhibit the upward motion of air necessary for cloud formation, leading to reduced cloud cover in regions affected by strong wind shear.
2. Cloud Orientation: Wind shear can tilt or distort the shape of developing clouds. When wind shear is strong, it can cause clouds to stretch horizontally instead of building vertically. This can result in elongated or lenticular cloud formations rather than the typical cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds.
3. Cloud Dissipation: In areas with strong vertical wind shear, clouds may be sheared apart or dispersed. This can lead to the breakup or dissipation of clouds as they are stretched or torn apart by the varying wind speeds and directions at different altitudes.
4. Formation of Anvil Clouds: Wind shear can contribute to the formation of anvil-shaped clouds, particularly in thunderstorms. Strong upper-level winds can blow the tops of developing cumulonimbus clouds horizontally, creating the characteristic anvil shape seen in mature thunderstorm clouds.

Wind shear plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and distribution of clouds in the atmosphere. Its effects can vary depending on the strength and direction of the shear, as well as other atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity.

[Verse 1]
Who says nope?
Let’s stretch the envelope
Push, stretch above
Pull, shove more love

[Bridge]
For that matter
Energy, space, time, matter
Matter of fact
There and back

[Chorus]
Find the time
For your Einstein rhyme
Find the space
To trace your race
[Bridge]
On the continuum (Om, Om, Om)

[Instrumental, Bass, Toms, Claves]

[Verse 2]
Intertwined, not much of a vacuum
Can’t assume, what’s your outcome
Intertwined in the vine
Of space-time

[Bridge]
For that matter
Energy, space, time, matter
Matter of fact
There and back

[Chorus]
Find the time
For your Einstein rhyme
Find the space

A SCIENCE NOTE
The concepts of the space-time continuum and the Theory of Relativity do not have physical envelopes in the traditional sense. However, the “envelope” metaphor might be used in a figurative sense to describe the bounds or limits within which these theories operate. In this context, the envelope could refer to the framework or constraints imposed by the theories on the behavior of space, time, and matter. For example, the Theory of Relativity describes how space and time are interwoven into a single continuum and sets the boundaries for the relationships between matter, energy, space, and time. Similarly, the concept of the space-time continuum encompasses the entirety of space and time as a unified entity, within which all physical events occur. So, while these theories don’t have literal envelopes, the metaphorical use of the term can help convey the conceptual boundaries and implications of these profound scientific ideas.
