Reasonable Dreams

Near Death Scare · Mid-Air Airline Crash · Mellow Uplifting Soft Rock

#INTRO

#VERSE
A near tragedy from a simple delay of your flight
Safe on the runway, ground control gave the green light
The pilot pushed the throttle to lift-off speed
Saw a plane coming down, a crash guaranteed
Seven feet in the air they did collide

#VERSE
Your pilot thought quickly, pulled hard and banked to the left
Her instant reaction helped two planes of people avoid their last breath
The Safety Board blamed the pre-boarding delay
It made uplifting news that everyone was okay
But you’re traumatized, and need to decompress

#CHORUS
And, oh, you must have been scared
As you sat in that wreckage alone
But I’ve been counting every lonely hour with you
So, Welcome home

#INSTRUMENTAL

#VERSE
When you left on that trip, we hugged and said our goodbyes
Seemed so routine, but when we kissed, I saw tears in your eyes
With hands on your shoulders, I said, “Talk to me”
You said, “I feel the cold whisper of cruel destiny”
And I said, “I had nightmares of fire in the skies”

#CHORUS
But, oh, you must have been scared
As you sat in that wreckage alone
But I’ve been counting every lonely hour with you
So, Welcome home

#BRIDGE
You and I are not hung up
On dreams of fire, fate or chance
Some praise the godly chess game
We praise one human’s hands
The pilot’s snap decision
Is why you’re here right now
And almost losing you has me
Thinking of those marriage vows

#CHORUS
’Cause, babe, you must have been scared
As you sat in that wreckage alone
But I’ve been counting every lonely hour with you
So, Welcome home

#OUTRO
I’m glad you’re back beside me, and our world is safe
So, Welcome home
