From a plane, I can see the map of the worldAnd see how the coastlines curl exactly as they do in the booksFrom a plane, I can see the ships on the seaAs I can't read them on their journeyIt's just me, the ships and the seaAnd now as I dream my dreams, the world wakes up belowAnd gradually the clearing mist reveals the morning glowAnd if it's not all in the seaThen let us be a healthy distance from meFrom a plane, I can see the ocean's endsI know I am home again, over land that I know so wellFrom a plane, I can see the space we're working inAnd how there is room for everythingAnd everyone has got their placeAnd now as I dream my dreams, the world wakes up belowAs I dream my dreams, the world wakes up belowAnd gradually the clearing mist reveals the morning glowAnd if it's not all in the seaThen let us be a healthy distance from meFrom a plane, I can see the map of the worldAnd see how the coastlines curl exactly as they do in the books
