Lyrics Amelia - Excalion

Amelia

Welcoming the new century when hopes were soaring high
Came along a child with starry eyes the color of the sky
A few years more and the drums of war were thundering away
And a pair of eyes cast in the sky saw wherein lay the way
There was a place to be for her who had no care
Other than finally to be lighter than the air
Come now, hear the engine sing
And winds on the windshield cry
The aerodrome grew angels wings
A shot went through the sky
Ever upward, heavenward
To heights that will twist the mind
Hardly before known to man
Let alone to her kind
From all the corners of the world, the wings they carried far
From the heights you finally realize we’re not so far apart
For all the world, down on the ground we live and there we die
Who was never meant to walk on earth one day returns to sky
She kept the course until the signal died away
Up there where eyes cannot see lies aviator’s grave
Come now, hear the engine sing
And winds on the windshield cry
The aerodrome grew angel’s wings
A shot went through the sky
Ever upward, heavenward
To heights that will twist the mind
Hardly before known to man
Let alone to her kind
