Fire In The Sky
It's a 767 jet liner soaring high
It's a 767 air plane passing by
Does it lay over in heaven or is it just passing through
A vessel destined for tragedy flying high up in the blue
A stranger at the helm with thier lives in his hands
A stranger in control who has issued no demands
A kami-kazi pilot sent to die for Islam
Transforms a flying beauty into a flying bomb
A nation feels the pain of so many longing souls
How many lives were lost? it seems no one really knows
It hurts so bad to watch an entire nation cry
But our lives were changed forever by the Fire In The Sky
