That's where the building used to stand
Where we would dream and we would plan
Where we could take off but never land
Helicopter in the sand
Helicopter in the sand
Not ready to give in
The propellor wants to spin
And the engine wants to sing
Helicopter in the sand
Helicopter in the sand
How inviting in the sky
For any creature that will fly
All I know is I had to try
And try and try again
And try and try again
If it only goes to show
Though the truth was the rougher road
It took us where we needed to go
I hope you'll understand
I hope you'll understand
Helicopter in the sand
Helicopter in the sand
Helicopter in the sand
