transcendental reunion

From 20000 feet
I saw the lights below me
Twinkling just like Christmas
We descended slowly

And the curve of the world passed
With all of that flying
Above the mighty ocean
And now we all are arriving

Grab the carry on baggage
Join the herd for the mad run

Take a place in the long line

Where does every one come from?

As we shuffle on forward

As we wait for inspection

Dont be holding that line up

At the end lies redemption

Oh oh hey hey ah ah

Now Im stamped and Im waved through
I take up my position

At the mouth of the cannon
Saying prayers of contrition

Now please deliver my suitcase

From all mischief and peril

Now the sight of it circling

Is a hymn to the faithful

Forgive me for my staring

For my unconcealed envy

In the Hall of Arrivals

Where the great river empties

Its hand carts and porters

All the people it carries

To be greeted with flowers

Grandfathers and babies

Oh oh hey hey ah ah

There is no one to meet me
Yet Im all but surrounded
By the tears and embracing
By the joy unbounded

The friends and relations
Leaping over hemispheres
Transcendental reunion
All borders vanish here

We are travelers traveling

We are gypsies together

Were philosophers gathering
We are business or pleasure
We are going or coming
Were just finding our way

To the next destination
And from night into day

Oh oh hey hey ah ah

Oh oh hey hey ah ah

In a giant birds belly

I flew over the ocean
From 20000 feet high

How those lights were glowing
