[00:00.00]Transcendental Reunion - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:15.92]From 20'000 feet
[00:19.29]I saw the lights below me
[00:22.97]Twinkling just like Christmas
[00:26.16]We descended slowly
[00:29.90]And the curve of the world passed
[00:33.13]With all of that flying
[00:36.13]Above the mighty ocean
[00:39.57]And now we all are arriving
[00:49.80]Grab the carry on baggage
[00:53.17]Join the herd for the mad run
[00:56.43]Take a place in the long line
[00:59.49]Where does every one come from
[01:02.93]As we shuffle on forward
[01:06.58]As we wait for inspection
[01:09.58]Don't be holding that line up
[01:12.89]At the end lies redemption
[01:18.16]Oh oh' hey hey' ah ah
[01:29.73]Now I'm stamped and I'm waved through
[01:33.16]I take up my position
[01:36.42]At the mouth of the cannon
[01:39.86]Saying prayers of contrition
[01:42.79]Now please deliver my suitcase
[01:46.72]From all mischief and peril
[01:49.65]Now the sight of it circling
[01:53.28]Is a hymn to the faithful
[01:56.65]Forgive me for my staring'
[01:59.72]For my unconcealed envy
[02:02.91]In the Hall of Arrivals
[02:06.34]Where the great river empties
[02:09.53]It's hand carts and porters
[02:13.30]All the people it carries
[02:16.37]To be greeted with flowers
[02:19.62]Grandfathers and babies
[02:24.92]Oh oh' hey hey' ah ah
[03:03.58]There is no one to meet me
[03:06.33]Yet I'm all but surrounded
[03:09.89]By the tears and embracing
[03:13.27]By the joy unbounded
[03:16.46]The friends and relations
[03:19.77]Leaping over hemispheres
[03:23.08]Transcendental reunion
[03:26.39]All borders vanish here
[03:29.64]We are travelers traveling
[03:33.02]We are gypsies together
[03:36.33]We're philosophers gathering
[03:39.89]We are business or pleasure
[03:43.21]We are going or coming
[03:46.64]We're just finding our way
[03:49.83]To the next destination
[03:51.39]And from night into day
[03:57.95]Oh oh' hey hey' ah ah
[04:07.71]Oh oh' hey hey' ah ah
[04:23.02]In a giant bird's belly
[04:26.39]I flew over the ocean
[04:30.27]From 20'000 feet high
[04:33.14]How those lights were glowing
