On That Plane
Embracing Home: Journey of Belonging in 'On That Plane'
Lyrics
I’m ready for take-off, I’ve made my mind up and I’m on my way
I’ve made a decision to embark on a journey and am prepared for take-off.
Flight path is logged in to one destination, this time to stay
I have set my flight path to a specific destination, indicating a commitment to staying there.
Its like I’ve been gone forever, and I’ve got a ticket to fly
Feeling like I've been away for a long time, and I possess a ticket for a return flight.
Coming home, keep the lights and the fire burning
Expressing the desire for a welcoming atmosphere upon returning home.
Flying home, through the dark night I’ll be returning
Anticipating the return journey through the night, emphasizing the eventual return home.
Where the love is always the same, where everyone knows my name
Home is a place where love is constant, and everyone is familiar with my identity.
I’m on that plane, coming home
Emphasizing the act of being on a plane and en route home.
At thirty-five thousand I sit by the window and stare at the moon
Observing the moon while being airborne at thirty-five thousand feet.
Far down below me the city lights call me, and I’ll be there soon
The city lights below are a call to return, indicating proximity to the destination.
It’s like I’ve been gone forever, and I’ve got a ticket to fly
Reiterating the feeling of an extended absence and holding a return ticket.
Coming home, keep the lights and the fire burning
Repeating the desire for a welcoming home with lights and fire.
Flying home, through the dark night I’ll be returning
Acknowledging the journey through the dark night as a part of the return.
Where the love is always the same, where everyone knows my name
Highlighting the constancy of love and familiarity in the place called home.
I’m on that plane, coming home
Reaffirming the current journey on the plane heading home.
And tonight, I’m alive
Expressing a sense of vitality and aliveness on this particular night.
Coming home, keep the lights and the fire burning
Repeating the desire for a welcoming atmosphere upon returning home.
Flying home, through the dark night I’ll be returning
Reiterating the journey through the dark night as part of the return process.
Coming home, keep the lights and the fire burning
Restating the desire for a welcoming home with lights and fire.
Flying home, through the dark night I’ll be returning
Acknowledging the journey through the dark night as a part of the return.
Where the love is always the same and everyone knows my name
Reaffirming the constancy of love and familiarity in the place called home.
I’m on that plane coming home
Reiterating the current journey on the plane heading home.
I’m on that plane, coming home
Emphasizing once again the act of being on a plane and en route home.
