Transcendental Reunion
From 20,000 feet
I 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 all are arriving
Grab the carry on baggage
Join the herd for the mad run
Take a place in the long line
Where does every one come from?
As we shuffle on forward
As we wait for inspection
Don’t be holding that line up
At the end lies redemption
Oh Oh, Hey Hey, Ah Ah
Now I’m stamped and I’m waved through
I take up my position
At the mouth of the cannon
Saying prayers of contrition
Please deliver my suitcase
From all mischief and peril
Now the sight of it circling
Is a hymn to the faithful
Forgive me for my staring, for my unconcealed envy
In the Hall of Arrivals where the great river empties
