Fear of Flight

I close my eyes and don’t look down.
The plane shakes in the storm,
The captain assures us we’re okay.

I want to be back on the ground,
But two more hours left to go.
I close my eyes and don’t look down.

Out the window, people stare at the lightning,
We try not to worry,
The plane shakes in the storm.

People begin to panic as we shake,
I grab the armrests on my chair and close my eyes,
The captain assures us were okay.
