Dalai Lama

A plane is flying in the evening breeze
Onboard is a man with a child, you see
They sit safe, they sit warm
And drift off to sleep, away from harm

In three hours they'll arrive
For Mama's birthday, they'll thrive
The view is good
The sky is clear

Onward, onward to our doom
We gotta live until we meet our tomb
Man doesn't belong up in the air
So the Lord in heaven calls with care
His sons on the wind
Bring me this child of man

The child has lost track of time
Then echoes jump into their mind
A low rumble drives the night
And the cloud driver laughs with delight
Shakes awake the crowd in fright

Onward, onward to our doom
We gotta live until we meet our tomb
And the child speaks to the Father
Don't you hear the thunder, rather?
That's the king of all the winds
He wants me to be his kin

From the clouds drips a choir
Creeping into the little ear, like fire
From the clouds drips a choir
Creeping into the little ear, like fire

Come here, stay here
We're good to you, my dear
Come here, stay here
We're brothers, never fear

The storm hugs the airplane tight
The pressure drops fast in the night
A low rumble drives the night
In panic, the crowd takes flight

Onward, onward to our doom
We gotta live until we meet our tomb
And the child pleads to the Lord above
Heaven, take back the wind, my love
Bring us safely to the ground

From the clouds drips a choir
Creeping into the little ear, like fire
From the clouds drips a choir
Creeping into the little ear, like fire

Come here, stay here
We're good to you, my dear
Come here, stay here
We're brothers, never fear

The father holds the child so tight (come here)
Presses him close with all his might (stay here)
Not noticing the child's distress (we're good to you)
But fear shows no mercy, I guess (come here)
So the father with his arms (stay here)
Squeezes the soul from the child, alarms (we're brothers, never fear)
This soul rides on the wind and sings

Come here, stay here
We're good to you, my dear
Come here, stay here
We're brothers, never fear

Come here, stay here
We're good to you, my dear
Come here, stay here
We're brothers, never fear
