War Child
This is a song by the Samples. The lyrics were written by Sean Kelly, the lead singer, ten minutes after he found out about the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing (for some younger members here, it was a terrorist bombing in the 80's that happened on a US airline Pan Am that was flying from London's Heathrow airport to JFK if I'm not mistaken. Huge sections of the plane fell on the town of Lockerbie Scotland. It was a horrific scene. Passengers still strapped in their seats. They probably didn't die of the blast. Those images are still emblazoned in my memory.) Anyway, I think they lyrics are especially appropriate this week....
Flying
we were looking
looking through the window at the moon
we were hoping
hoping we?d be back real soon
we were flying
thirty thousand feet above the earth
we?ll be spending it
spending it on our knees in some church
we?ve been through the hardest times
and they're coming back too soon
I?ll be waiting in an aiport line
staring at the moon
we were coming back
coming back for holidays
we?ll be spending it
spending it fast asleep in our graves
we were falling
thirty thousand feet above the earth
we?ll be spending it
spending it on our knees in some church
we?ve been through the hardest times
and they?re coming back too soon
I?ll be standing in airport line
standing next to you
we were flying
thirty thouseand feet above the earth
we were flying
thirty thousand feet above the earth
we were falling
thirty thousand feet above the earth
we were flying
Just flying
Just flying
Just flying
Just flying
