Don't bother me with philosophy
Humanistic wisdom I can't see
I'm just ordinary people
With eyes on the prize
If you don't think there's a heaven
Then you ain't very wise

(Chorus)
I'm on a distant journey
That's gonna take me away
I've got my destination
I'll be there just any day
Now don't you try to stop me
Cause you'll be losing ground
I'm on a distant journey
That is glory bound

I like flying in an airplane
Going places I have never seen
But nothing can compare
With what's waiting over there
Don't stand there doubting
While I'm caught up in the air

(Chorus)

I ain't got the time to turn back now
There's nothing I desire back there anyhow
I'm on a distant journey

(Chorus)
