I took flight beyond the clouds

I had no fear of height and I was somewhat proud

It was my first plane ride into the blue

So I dared not to look down or I was through

I felt the plane leave the ground as it slowly rise

I then tightly closed my eyes

My heart start’d racin’

My nerves start’d pacin'

Before I knew it; fear I was facin’

I gripped the plane’s seat with a frantic hold

The nerve of me to have a window seat; now that was bold

The plane shook as it taxied down the runway

I sunk into my seat and began to pray

We were airborne and peacefulness surround

Then a voice from the cockpit made a sound

The pilot announced we’re five-thousands feet off the ground

A passenger next to me commented, first flight?

I asked, was it obvious? As I gripped the seat with fright

I finally opened my eyes--the nerve of me

I peered out the window to witness not a sight of trees

Lord I was in the mist of your heavenly clouds

The noise of my beatin' heart was somewhat loud

Then I saw my life flash before me

I yawned; it was over on the count of three

Well If this plane crash at least I seen how my life been

Now I had another reason to pray again

Before I knew it we were about to land

Lord when we touched ground I got down and kissed the sand

My first flight was over and I was glad

To see it end I was almost sad---Not

Will I fly again? only God can tell

Maybe when frosty the snowman make it through hell

Don’t call me a chicken because I don’t wanna fly around

That’s not what I fear, it’s the crashin' on the way down
