30 Thousand Feet

Headed home, flyin' alone
The horizon meets my window seat
There's nothin' to fear
To my eyes it appears I've got the world turnin' at my feet

It's easy ridin' on the wings of fate
To mistake all this beauty for peril
Through my window how the world appears
To be so simple and so sterile
A man scans the land and he stares
And marvels at his own damnation
It's easy to see how a man can believe
That he's the master of his own salvation - Yeah!

Leave a trail of doubt behind you
Pray to God 'cuz someone told you to
Now you're ridin' on the inside and keepin' the faith
At 30,000 feet

A silver lining is a thin disguise
On a debt that you can never repay
A penny here or a dollar there
While your soul keeps slippin' away
Always taken for granted everything that had ever come easy
When the hard times hit, all alone you'll sit,
'Cuz you were never there to please me
