Jim St. James

Lyrics

"COURAGE IS THE PRICE THAT LIFE EXACTS FOR GRANTING PEACE. THE SOUL THAT KNOWS IT NOT, KNOWS NO RELEASE"*

THE CHILD OF A RICH MAN'S GIRL
SHE TOOK A RIDE AT AN AERIAL SHOW
SOON AS THEY LEFT THE GROUND
SHE KNEW SHE WOULD FLY

NOBODY KNEW JUST WHAT SHE WAS AFTER
SHE ONLY KNEW THAT SHE HAD TO
FLY, OVER THE MYSTERY MILES SHE'D
FLY, AMELIA

SHE MADE THE RECORD BOOKS
TICKER TAPES AND HEADLINE DREAMS
A PIONEERING SOUL IN EQUALITY
ALL THROUGH HER DARING LIFE
SHE SET THE STAGE SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW
GENDER IS NOT WHAT DRIVES, ITS THE COURAGE TO GO

NOBODY KNEW JUST WHAT SHE WAS AFTER
SHE ONLY KNEW THAT SHE HAD TO
FLY, OVER THE MYSTERY MILES SHE'D
FLY, AMELIA

ONE FINAL FLIGHT, ONE FINAL SHOW
AN AMERICAN LEGEND TAKES AHOLD OF THE CONTROLS
HER FATE WAS DESTINY, BURNED IN THE BOOK OF TIME
A HUMAN LEGACY WHOSE STAR WILL ALWAYS SHINE...

FLY,...... OVER THE MYSTERY MILES SHE'D
FLY, AMELIA
FLY, OVER THE MYSTERY MILES SHE'D
FLY, AMELIA

" FIRST TWO LINES OF THIS SONG EXCERPTED FROM A POEM BY AMELIA EARHART"*
