Skyliner
McRae Carmen Lyrics

Skyliner, skyliner
Addressing the airplane, acknowledging its name and its ability to traverse the skies with ease.

Flying so freely
Describing the plane's effortless ascension, soaring through the air without a care in the world.

We seem to really
Noticing the sense of freedom that comes with flying and the feeling of being untethered from the ground.

Touch heaven higher
Experiencing the sensation of touching something divine or sacred as the plane rises ever higher into the sky.

Higher, ever higher
Emphasizing the continuous upward movement of the aircraft and the increasing distance from the earth below.

Sunbeams all dance
Observing the sun's rays bouncing off the plane's wings, creating a choreographed dance of light.

On your wings
Noticing the way the light is illuminated by the aircraft's wings, highlighting the smoothness of its glide.

Where the light falls
Following the path of the sun's rays and noticing the shift in lighting as the plane glides into different areas.

And then when night falls
Transitioning into the night and observing the stars as they begin to twinkle above.

Stars dance above
Marveling at the celestial display of stars in the sky as the plane travels higher and higher.

Giving a show
Realizing that the view from the plane is something truly special and wonderful, putting on a display for those on board.

For the people below
Recognizing the perspective of the people on the ground, who may be gazing up at the plane in awe.

As we fly, as we fly
Continuing the journey and taking in the sights from the air.

So high
Acknowledging the immense altitude of the plane as it continues on its journey.

Hearing each single beat
Noticing the sound of the plane's engine, which provides a steady beat for the journey.

Of the motor's repeat
Continuing to hear the steady hum of the engine, a comforting sound in the midst of the journey.

With a sigh, baby
Reacting to the engine's sound with a sense of contentment, as it provides a soothing presence during the journey.

By and by
Looking forward to the end of the journey and feeling a sense of relief when it's over.

[Chorus]
Transitioning into a chorus and expressing the desire to be reunited with a loved one when the journey is over.

I'll hold him close

That's the sweet song they sing me

Skyliner, bring me home to love
