Got on a plane
It’s a long way
From me to you
It’s been a long time
Since I saw your face
And I cry
Knowing that I can’t be with you
Please understand,
God told me to take a stand
It’s tough sometimes for me to understand
So please, don’t try to take my hand

Cause I, got on a plane
And flew away
Never knowing that
Life would never be the same
And I, wasn’t running away
On that day
I was just taking a chance
And testing my aim

Now it’s been a long time
Since I said goodbye
Living here
Sometimes I ask why
But I’ll be alright
If you’re on my side
Please understand,
I needed to take a stand
It’s tough sometimes for me to understand
So please, don’t try to take my hand

Cause I, got on a plane
And flew away
Never knowing that
Life would never be the same
And I, wasn’t running away
On that day
I was just taking a chance
And testing my aim

At how far I could go
Even if the world said no
Even if everything was against me
I didn’t know how high
I could fly
But I’ve made it so far
I’m on my way home now

And I’ll, get on a plane
And fly away
Knowing full well that
Life will never ever be the same
And I’m, coming home
On my own
I’ve taken a chance
Taken my stance

Cause I, got on a plane
And flew away

Never knowing that

Life would never be the same

And I, wasn’t running away

On that day

I was just taking a chance

And testing my aim
