lyrics

This Is Your Captain Speaking by Ben Mitchell © 2022

This is your captain speaking
I welcome you aboard
Soon we will be leaving
And setting our own course

This is your captain speaking
For some I’ll take you home
For some you will be needing
To go out on your own

Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Where we’re going
We don’t need runways or planes

This is your captain speaking
I’ll be first to admit
I don’t know where this is leading
Until I feel the lift

This is your captain speaking
The honour is all mine
This dream I keep believing
This dream I have to fly

Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Where we’re going
We don’t need runways or planes

Best to make this clear
There’s something bigger, much bigger
Going on here
I feel the spirit rising
Like a jet engine firing
You don’t see the flame, but it can burn you
Just the same

This is your captain speaking
Please put out all the lights
‘Cause none ever shine brighter
Than the one you have inside

This is your captain speaking
We’re on final approach
Over clouds the sun a beacon
To give a little hope

This is your captain speaking
Let’s all enjoy the flight
And whatever you are feeling
It’s totally alright

This is your captain speaking
This trip can be a breeze
If you give what you are seeking
And stay out of the trees
