When we take off And leave the ground We'll be high Above the tiny town The little houses and their little yards When we take off, and leave the ground We'll be high above the tiny town Way above the trees The people in their worlds upon the freeways So high above the sea As long as you hold my hand As we watch the swift receding land, I'll know no fear And if my number's up today Well then God will take me just this way 'Cause I knew true peace while I was here When we take off, and leave the ground We'll be so high above the tiny town Way above the trees The people in their worlds upon the freeways So high above the sea The sparkling golden sea So high above the sea, yeah We'll be so high above the tiny town Way above the trees The people in their worlds upon the freeways So high above the sea The sparkling golden sea Way above the sea, yeah When we take off, and leave the ground When we take off, and leave the ground
