Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
