The only flight path to Heaven is under the radar
Leaving all behind but your entourage of angels
Unseen and silent slip away, slip away
All you can carry with you is a wing full of wind
And to everything else you must be a stranger

Slip away, slip away
Unseen and silent, slip away

Be oppressed and afflicted and for goodness’ sake silent
Spend your words like treasure and your treasure like words
Unseen and silent slip away, slip away
Keep the word where your life is hidden until that day
And wait until a simple, “Well done” can be heard

Slip away, slip away
Unseen and silent, slip away

A voluminous silence unuttered by the spirit
A light foolishly kept hid to yourself by the bushel
Unseen and silent slip away, slip away
Between a hard place and the rock that is higher than I
The place where the pilgrim soul desires to dwell

Slip away, slip away
Unseen and silent, slip away

There is just one who will look for you wherever you go
In the meantime you should try to keep your profile low
Unseen and silent, slip away
Slip away, slip away
Unseen and silent, slip away
