Lyrics

Oh Why Are You Afraid to Fly?

(v1)
Airplane wings
They create lift
Mother Nature’s gift
That allows us to soar like birds

How do I
Make you feel okay
Take your fear away
With just the comfort of my words

(chorus)
Oh why
Are you afraid to fly?
I’m gonna try
To talk you through it

Don’t cry
You’re not gonna die
I won’t stand by
I’m gonna help you do it

(v2)
Turbulence
Is just rough seas
Whitecaps in the breeze
Choppy waves but you stay dry

Turbulence
Is just rough air
It’s safe, I swear
A changing tide up in the sky

(chorus)
Oh why
Are you afraid to fly?
I’m gonna try
To talk you through it

Don’t cry
You’re not gonna die
I won’t stand by
I’m gonna help you do it

(v3)
In the clouds
While we can’t see
There’s a potpourri
Of instruments to fly the plane

In the clouds
The horizon
Is depicted in one
Even at night or in the rain

(bridge)
There’s radar
And GPS
We never have to guess
We know exactly where we are

Above the ground
Many times a day
People fly this way
Relax your grip and have a look around

(chorus)
Oh why
Are you afraid to fly?
I’m gonna try
To talk you through it

Don’t cry
You’re not gonna die
I won’t stand by
I’m gonna help you do it
