A ship out on the ocean sees a speck against the sky.

Amelia Earhart flying that sad day,

with her partner, Captain Noonan on the 2nd of July.

She went across the ocean far away.

She radioed position to say that all was well, 

although the fuel inside her tank was low.

She'd stop on Howland island and refuel her monoplane,

then on her trip around the world she'd go.

It's a beautiful, beautiful field

far away in a land that is fair.

Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart.

Farewell, first lady of the air.

Just half an hour later, the SOS was heard,

the signal faint, yet still the voice was brave.

In the shark-infested waters, the small plane disappeared.

Amelia went down to her watery grave.

So, now you've heard the story of this awful tragedy.

We pray that she'll fly safely home again.

In years to come as others blaze their trail across the sky,

we'll ne're forget Amelia and her plane.
