Don'T Let Us Crash
Crashing, we're crashing
taking a nose dive toward
the dark waters below
on a red eye'd flight I sit
white knuckled against my seat
god help us
DON'T LET US DIE
I beg of you let us live
let me live to see my daughter grow
see her walk down the isle
get married
let me live to be a grandmother
don't let us die
the water's growing closer
help us
closer still
tears are falling from my eyes
catch us as we fall
cradle us in your arms until
we are safely home
The plane slowly lifts
gliding across the water
before arcing back up to the stars
Thank You
