Transcendental Reunion
From twenty thousand feet high Saw the lights below me Twinkling just like Christmas. We descended slowly And the curve of the world passed With all of that flying Above the mighty ocean And now we're all on the riding.
Grab the carry-on baggage, Join the herds for the mad hunt Take a place in the long line Where does everyone come from? As we shuffle on forward, As we wait for inspection Now, don't be holding that minor, At the end lies redemption.
Now I'm stuffed and I wait through I take up my position At the mouth of the canyon Saying prayers of contrition. Now, please deliver my suitcase From a mischief emperor Now the sight of it circling Is a hymn to the faithful Forgive me my staring For my unconcealed envy In the whole of arrivals Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Where the great river empties Its hand cards and porters Are the people they carry To the greeted with flowers Grand fathers and babies.
There is no one to meet me Yet I'm all but surrounded By the tears and embracing By the joy unbounded The friends and relations Living over hemispheres Chance of tandem reunions All boarders vanishing. We are travelers travelling, We are gipsies together We're philosophers gathering We are business or pleasure We are going or coming We're just finding our way To the next destination And from night into day.
In a giant bird's belly I flew over the ocean From twenty thousand feet high All those lights were glowing.
