Silver Lining

Just out of JFK
The turbulence
Was terrifying
I held my breath
And did my best
To shake my fear of flying
I'm not so heroic
Cavalier
Or even stoic
You want catastrophe?
It's nothing that you'd want to see

Look over there
The sun is shining
Breaking the clouds
That blocked the way
Look over there
A silver lining
Right over there
Well, look at that!

Just over Wichita
The flight attendant
Started screaming
I placed my head
Between my knees
And I started dreaming
I don't set examples
Bad excuses
Always ample
You want calamity
It's nothing that you'd want to see

Just shy of LAX
The preacher
Led us all in prayer
I had objections
But decided
That I wouldn't dare
I'm not ordinary
Evidence
Is quite contrary
You want catastrophe
It's nothing that you'd want to see

Look over there!
The sun is shining
Breaking the clouds
That blocked the way
Look over there!
A silver lining
Right over there
Well, look at that!
