Lyrics

It was good We're rollin' There's an airline plane Flies to heaven everyday Pass in through the gates If you wanna ride this train Have your ticket in your hand Before it is too late If the world looks wrong And your money's spent and gone And your friend has turned away You can get away to heaven On this aeroplane Just bow your head and pray Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again Yes, to your home behind the skies Well, a lot of people guess Some say no and some say yes Take some and leave some behind But you will surely know When to the airport go To leave this world behind Just to leave this world behind Whose got ears, let them hear Whose got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again Yes, to your home behind the skies Oh, a lot of speakers speak A lot of preachers preach When you lay their salary on the line You too bow your head and pray It's the only earthly way You can fly to heaven on time You can reach heaven on time Your ticket to obtain On this heavenly airline plane You can leave your sins behind You've got to take this flight Near daytime, might be night time You can't see your way if you're blind You can't see your way if you're blind Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies To take the airline plane It'll take you home again Yeah, to your home behind the skies
