Songtext von Way Up High

As the clouds go racing by and the stewardess brings my wine There's a couple things that cross my mind today Like how many swimming pools does it take to keep us cool? And are we meant to rule the skies anyway? Oh, has the world gone wild? Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight Oh, hope that I'm on time And I wish you were by my side These are my thoughts from way up high Is the middle-aged businessman making deals with his right hand Or is he talking to his bride of fifteen years? And as I get closer to God, is he falling more in love? Or are all my sins becoming that much clearer? Oh, has the world gone wild? Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight Oh, hope that I'm on time And I wish you were by my side These are my thoughts from way up high And I can't wait to land and forget the place that I have been To make room for all the memories we will make But for now, that thought will have to wait If the pilots cannot see the state line boundaries Then how do they know where to steer? And my father did his best, and I'd say he was some success Cause I'm the man he hopes he sees in the mirror Oh, has the world gone wild? Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight Oh, hope that I'm on time And I wish you were by my side These are my thoughts from way up high
