Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Snowbird
Tying ribbons up in your hair
Wishing that I could be there
Stay awake, stay aware
Cause I�ll try
To stay awake throughout the night
And I will chase the sun in flight
Till I�m there, I�ll be there
Ooh, winter came, I was gone
Flight departures, times we�ve lost
Saw you standing in the snow
Such a vibrant glow
Oh, did you ever think I�d come home
I couldn�t spend this night alone
Cause you�re number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, in a little bit I�ll be there
Like a star shot through the air
To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby
Airplane
Could you take me far away
To the snow enveloped plains
Cause she�s there, cause she�s there
I fly
In a coast to coast charade
But if only for one day
I�ll be there, I�ll be there
Ooh, winter came, I was gone
Flight departures, times we�ve lost
Saw you standing in the snow
Such a vibrant glow
Oh, did you ever think I�d come home
I couldn�t spend this night alone
Cause you�re number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, in a little bit I�ll be there
Like a star shot through the air
To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby
Ooh, I promise I�ll be there
Cause you�re the number one on my wish list, baby
Ooh, I promise I�ll be there
Cause you�re the number one on my wish list, baby
I�ve got time, twenty four hours
Waiting for the go ahead from the tower
If I had just one wish
Get me home for Christmas
I�ve got time, twenty four hours
Waiting for the go ahead from the tower
If I had just one wish
Get me home for Christmas
Oh, did you ever think I�d come home
I couldn�t spend this night alone
Cause you�re number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, in a little bit I�ll be there
Like a star shot through the air
To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby
Ooh, I promise I�ll be there
Cause you�re the number one on my wish list, baby
Ooh, I promise I�ll be there
Cause you�re the number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, did you ever think I�d come home
I couldn�t spend this night alone
Cause you�re number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, in a little bit I�ll be there
Like a star shot through the air
To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby
Tying ribbons up in your hair
Wishing that I could be there
Stay awake, stay aware
Cause I�ll try
To stay awake throughout the night
And I will chase the sun in flight
Till I�m there, I�ll be there
Ooh, winter came, I was gone
Flight departures, times we�ve lost
Saw you standing in the snow
Such a vibrant glow
Oh, did you ever think I�d come home
I couldn�t spend this night alone
Cause you�re number one on my wish list, baby
Oh, in a little bit I�ll be there
Like a star shot through the air
To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby

To make a checkmark on my wish list, baby

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
