Hangar at Olaya

[Verse 1] White Land Cruiser, dust and heat Olaya’s hangar, concrete sleep A Gulfstream waits with its painted name Pomerania on the fuselage frame Leandro steps out, light suit clean All executive, Medellín mean The driver swings the rear door wide And Sophie arrives with her cap pulled low [Pre-Chorus] Jeans and sneakers, bag in hand Not the runway queen they planned Pier Michel stands so straight, so cool In a darker suit, untouched by noon [Chorus] No strangers on board No strangers tonight Twenty minutes more Then we take flight No strangers on board Still, we all pretend A new face comes And the old rules bend [Verse 2] Restrepo says, “We’re almost set Still waiting for another guest” Michel asks, “We travel alone?” Sophie says, “That is good enough” Then the blue Optra rolls to stop Carolina steps out, quick and soft Jorge pulls the travel bag down But she says, “I’ve got it now” [Pre-Chorus] She hugs her grandfather tight Then her grandmother, blessing light She crosses tarmac, bag to plane Like she’s done this all her life [Chorus] No strangers on board No strangers tonight Twenty minutes more Then we take flight No strangers on board Still, we all pretend A new face comes And the old rules bend [Bridge] Backstage glamour, runway flame Falls away without a name Here the heat and silence win And every hello starts again [Final Chorus] No strangers on board No strangers tonight Twenty minutes more Then we take flight No strangers on board Still, we all pretend A new face comes And the old rules bend [Outro] Felicia waves them up the stairs The crew ascends through hot air And one by one, they cross that line From the tarmac into sky-time
