Haven in the Sky

Fingers crossed, I hope I've made the right move

Always thought that New York would be perfect for me

I feel scared, course I'm scared, it's a big step

It is not every day you land in NYC

Where's that book that I bought in Departures?

Could a book sort me out? I don't know anymore

Love yourself, live your dreams, you're amazing

Did I find peace of mind in Terminal Four?

This is more than a flight, it's a haven

Let us take care of you on our haven in the sky

Just sit back and relax, take things easy

Watch the ground disappear, wave your worries goodbye

Welcome to this eight-hour flight to New York

May we thank you for choosing to fly with BA

On behalf of the captain and stewards

We hope you have a pleasant and safe flight today

I thank you

I feel calm and peaceful

Not just because of the free welcome drink

It seems suddenly right to be here in the sky

With the headspace to think

Ten miles high in a blanket of blue

Nowhere to go and nothing to do

Just one small suitcase, I'm travelling light

I feel like things will turn out alright

In the interest of your health and safety

We advise you keep stretching, get up, move around

Roll your neck, gently rotate your ankles

Keep hydrated 'til you're safely back on the ground

Lift your legs nice and high, put your socks on

Turn your head left and right, and repeat and repeat

Take deep breaths and do ten shoulder circles

Gently bring your head down and massage your feet

Why do I always sit near the nutter?

Wants to show me the sights, I just want Bloomingdale's

Empire State, Guggenheim, Ellis Island

Well, I'll think about them once I've been to the sales

This is more than a flight, it's a haven

Let us take care of you on our haven in the sky

Just sit back and relax, take things easy

Watch the ground disappear, wave your worries goodbye

Up here, everything's clear

You just sit and they grant you your every wish

Angels in uniform smile and ask

Would you rather the meat or the fish?

No big decisions, no binds and no ties

I love this limbo up in the skies

Eight whole hours, my life's not in my hands

Better sort my head out for when this plane lands

Nothing matters when you're here in limbo

Watch the clouds underneath lift the weight off your mind

Hear the sun's always shining above you

Leave whatever old baggage you don't want behind

This is more than a flight, it's a haven

Let us take care of you on our haven in the sky

This is more than a flight, it's a haven

Watch the ground reappear as we wave you goodbye

This is more than a flight, it's a haven

Let us take care of you on our haven

Here we are, JFK, well, I made it

Wonder how far it is to Union Square

They're five hours behind, so it's early

Think I'll go for a walk, get a breath of fresh air
