The sheet music:


Lyrics

  1. Out of the west, for your great test
    Unknown, unsung you flew
    Like an eagle in flight you flew thru the night
    With the whole world praying for you

Chorus
While you were flying high in the sky
You flew into the hearts of the world
While we were praying we knew you’d come thru
Now the flag of your victory’s unfurled
The spirit of youth carried you on
And a mother’s prayer did its part
With God on His throne leading you ‘cross the foam
Like an angel you flew into everyone’s heart

  1. Over the sea, brave as can be
    Alone you did your part
    They said you were “lucky”
    But we know you’re plucky
    You’re the ace of every heart
