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 |
It’s hand carts and porters |
All the people it carries |
To be greeted with flowers |
Grandfathers and babies |
Oh Oh, Hey Hey, Ah Ah |
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 |
Leaping over hemispheres |
Transcendental reunion |
All borders vanish here |
We are travelers traveling |
We are gypsies 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 |
Oh Oh, Hey Hey, Ah Ah, |
Oh Oh, Hey Hey, Ah Ah |
In a giant bird’s belly |
I flew over the ocean |
From 20,000 feet high |
How those lights were glowing |
