Airplane - Bethany Dillon

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
