Tonight we fly
Over the houses, the streets and the trees -
Over the dogs down below;
They'll bark at our shadows
As we float by on the breeze.
Tonight we fly
Over the chimney tops, skylights and slates -
Looking into all your lives
And wondering why
Happiness is so hard to find.
Over the doctor, over the soldier,
Over the farmer, over the poacher,
Over the preacher, over the gambler,
Over the teacher, over the writer,
Over the lawyer, over the dancer,
Over the voyeur,
Over the builder and the destroyer,
Over the hills and far away!
Tonight we fly
Over the mountains, the beach and the sea
Over the friends that we've known,
And those that we now know
And those whom we've yet to meet.
And when we die
Oh, will we be that disappointed or sad?
If heaven doesn't exist,
What will we have missed?
This life is the best we've ever had!

OK. I landed in Delhi on my own, at 3am, shit scared of everyone and everything. Got a horrendous hotel for the night. It had a TV. Thank fuck. I put it on, and on came this advert for some foreign airline with THIS as it's tune. I'd never heard it before and it blew my mind. I felt OK, at home even.
Next day I got a train to Goa (45 hours), It was hell.
Arrived in Margao and then Colva and had the best 6 months of my life.
