When I fly my plane up high,
Way above the clouds up in the sky,
I am closer to Heaven than any man.
Only if you are there, will you understand.

As I fly, the old song lyrics come to me,
The song that is “Nearer My God To Thee”.
 Only the Lord could create such beauty as the sky,
Sailing through the opalescent clouds that go floating by.

The freedom and solitude that I feel up there,
There’s no comparison to anything, anywhere!
Truly my spirit is free to roam,
Up in the heavens is my second home!
