There's an airline plane
Flies to heaven everyday
Past the pearly gatesIf you want to ride this train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it is too lateIf the world looks wrong
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned awayYou can get away to heaven
On this aeroplane
Just bow your head and prayThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skiesTake this airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skiesWell a lot of people guess
Some say no and some say yes
Will it take some and leave some behind?But you will surely know
When to the airport go
To leave this world behindOh a lot of speakers speak
A lot of preachers preach
When you lay their salary on the lineYou hold your head and pray
It's the only earthly way
You can fly to heaven on time
Fly to heaven on timeThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skiesTake that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skiesYour ticket you obtain
On this heavenly airline plane
You leave your sins behindYou've got to take this flight
It may be daytime, might be night
But you can't see your way if you're blindThem's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skiesTake that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
