About the Artist
Lyrics
There's an airline plane Flies to Heaven everyday Past the Pearly Gates If you want to ride that train Have your ticket in your hand Before it's too late The world looks wrong And your money's spent and gone And your friend has turned away You can get away to Heaven On this airplane Just bow your head and pray Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again To your home behind the skies Oh, a lot of people guess Some say no and some say yes Takes some and leave some behind But you will surely know When did the airport go To leave your sins behind Lot of speakers speak Lot of preachers preach When you lay their salary on the line Well, the only earthly way Is to bow your head and pray You can fly to Heaven on time Fly to Heaven on time Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies And take that airline plane It'll take you home again To your home behind the skies Your ticket that you obtain On this heavenly airline plane To leave this world behind You've got to make that flight Maybe daytime, might be night But you can't see your way if you're blind Them's got ears, let them hear Them's got eyes, let them see Turn your eyes to the Lord of the skies Take that airline plane It'll take you home again To your home behind the skies
