Airplane

In an airplane
I take the window seat
A thousand feet
And all I know shrinks in minutes
And when the sky is gray
I want to believe
That when the sun is hiding
It still exists
In an airplane
Are kings and common men
At the window side my side
Their view is now the same
Some relax and rest their eyes
Some sit on the edge
As we all break through the clouds
Into the light of day
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I’ve never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you
Leave behind your busy life
All you have is who you are
Space like this is hard to find
So breathe it in
Someone will say, «Where are you headed?»
And it might be the first time
You ever thought about it
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I’ve never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you
A baby’s talking two rows behind me
The sun just set for the second time today
You seem to use the smallest things around me
To get me to this place
Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I’ve never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you
