Flying Home
Wings of Freedom: Chris de Burgh's Journey Home
Lyrics
We're sitting out here on the runway,
We are currently on the runway,
Waiting for the plane to leave,
Waiting for the departure of the plane,
And the captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
The captain announces a brief delay,
Bear with me please,"
Requesting patience from the passengers,
They gave us the usual hassle,
We faced the typical problems,
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
Being told guitars are not allowed on board,
But the boys in the band just smiled,
The band members respond with a smile,
Heard it all before,
Having experienced this situation before,
And as they're starting to serve champagne,
As champagne is served to the front passengers,
To the folks at the front of the plane,
The journey begins, engines roaring,
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,
Expressing the excitement of takeoff,
And we are flying home,
Heading home while in flight,
I feel the freedom in my soul,
Sensing a liberating feeling in the soul,
Flying home at last;
Finally returning home,
Flying home,
Continuing the theme of flying home,
I've got the freedom in my soul,
Experiencing freedom in the soul,
And it's four in the morning,
It's early morning, 4 AM,
My world is calling,
The world beckons,
Speeding through the universe tonight...
Speeding through the universe tonight,
The movie reminds of my lady,
Reflecting on a movie that reminds of a loved one,
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
Wondering about the whereabouts of certain individuals,
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
Mentioning Butch and Sundance in the sky,
And now the sun is beginning to rise,
The sun starts to rise,
It's like looking down on Paradise,
Comparing the view to Paradise,
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,
Noting the life-giving ball of fire,
And we are flying home,
Continuing the journey of flying home,
I feel the freedom in my soul,
Sensing freedom deeply in the soul,
Flying home at last;
Reiterating the joy of finally arriving home,
Flying home,
Emphasizing the theme of flying home,
I've got the freedom in my soul,
Feeling freedom within the soul,
And it's four in the morning,
It's 4 AM again,
My world is calling,
The world calls,
Speeding through the universe tonight
Continuing to speed through the universe tonight.
