larry norman - stop this flight lyrics

sixteen hours from london, flying on a dc-10
you know, i wonder if when that plane sets down
i’ll ever be able to walk again
i spent thirty-five days in europe
singing ’til my voice is gone
you know, there’s never enough time to get a good night’s sleep
what is this road that i’ve been running on?

i’ve got to stop this flight
i’ve got to get back to earth
hey, i’m a human being
god knows what that’s worth

i’m not meant to be stranded on some empty stage
and end up lonely in my old age

i’ve got to stop, stop this flight

people try to twist your message
reporters try to twist your mind
you know i just can’t wait ’til i can get back home
i really miss that girl of mine
she’s the only one i really talk to
she’s where my heart begins and ends
it ain’t no love-for-money relationship
we were teenage buddies, and childhood friends

i’ve got to stop this flight
i’ve got to get back to earth
hey, i’m a human being
god knows what that’s worth

and now i’m moving like a dancer on an empty stage
but i’ll be risen from this prison at the end of the age
i’m always locked up in the studio
hey, this ain’t no way to live
you know, they never like my albums ’til the records sell
and they always want more than i can possibly give
i’ve been struggling for inspiration
hoping that the songs don’t flop
and i’ll be waiting like a beggar for the item to drop
you got to live up to the contract ’til they tell you to stop

you’ve got to stop this flight
you’ve got to get back to earth
hey, we are human beings
god knows what that’s worth

we’re not meant to be trapped in this fleshly cage
and end up screamin’ like a demon at the end of the age
stop this flight…
