Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's an airline plane
Flies to Heaven everyday
Past the pearly gates
If you wanna ride this train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it's too late
[Verse 2]
If 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 aeroplane
Just bow your head and pray
[Verse 3]
Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take this airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
[Verse 4]
Well a lot of people guess
Some say no, and some say yes
Will take some and leave some behind
But you will surely know
When to the airport go
To leave this world behind
[Verse 5]
Oh, a lot of speakers speak
A lot of preachers preach
When you lay their salary on the line
You can hold your head and pray
It's the only earthly way
You can fly to Heaven on time
Fly to Heaven on time
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Your ticket you obtain
On this heavenly airline plane
You leave your sins behind
You've gotta take this flight
It may be daytime, might be night
But you can't see your way if you're blind
[Verse 8]
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
