F
[Verse 1]
F
From 20,000 feet high, I saw the lights below me
Bb F
Twinkling just like Christmas, We descended slowly
F
And the curve of the world passed, with all of that flying
Bb F
above the mighty ocean, and now we all are arriving
F
Grab the carry on baggage, join the herd for the mad run
Bb F
take place in the long line, where does everyone come from
F
As we shuffle on forward, as we wait for inspection
Bb F
Dont be holding that line up, at the end lies redemption
F Bb
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, ah ah ah
[Verse]
F
Now I'm stamped and I'm waved through, I take up my position
Bb F
at the mouth of the cannon, saying prayers of contrition
F
Please deliver my suitcase, from all mischief and peril
Bb F
now the sight of it circling, is a hymn to the faithful
F
Forgive my staring, for my unconcealed envy
Bb F
in the hall of arrivals, where the great river empties
F
Its hand carts and porters, all the people it carries
Bb F
to be greeted with flowers, grandfathers and babies
F Bb F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
[Instrumental]
F C Bb x4
[Verse 3]
F
There is no one to meet me, yet I'm all but surrounded
Bb F
by the tears and embracing, by the joy unbounded
F
The friends and relations, Leaping over hemispheres
Bb F
Transcendental Reunion, all borders vanish here
F
We are travellers travelling, we are gypsies together
Bb F
we're philosophers gathering, we are business or pleasure
F
We are going or coming, we are just finding our way
Bb F
to the next destination and from night into day
C Bb F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
C Bb F
oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
[Outro]
F
In a giant bird's belly, I flew over the ocean
Bb F
from twenty thousand feet high, how those lights were glowing
