[Verse 1]
I've been a farmer where nothing grows
Like a sailor where no wind blows
And I don't know what else to try
I wish that I could fly

[Verse 2]
I've been a boxer with no punch
Like a psychic without a hunch
Just lookin' up to the sky
I wish that I could fly

[Chorus]
'Cause it's like an Everest in my path
And I can't see beyond that
But isn't it strange how everything can change
When you see it from an airplane?

[Verse 3]
I've been a doctor with no remedies
Like an inventor with no ideas
Sometimes I feel so small
Wish I could see it all

[Chorus]
'Cause it's like an Everest in my path
And I can't see beyond that
But isn't it strange how everything can change
Whеn you see it from an airplane?
[Bridge]
When you see it from an airplane
Whеn you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane
When you see it from an airplane

[Outro]
I have always been lookin' out
I wonder what I'd see lookin' down
