Subject: RE: Songs for St Georges Day
Sung to the tune of THE DAMBUSTERS MARCH (cOATES)
Lyrics by Carlene Mair 1954 Proudly with high endeavour, we, who are young forever, won the freedom of the sky, we shall never die! We who have made our story, Part of our country's glory Know our hearts will still live on, While Britons fly We Know our hearts will still live on
You who have seen us flying, hold to one hope undying Someday over all the world, ev'ry war shall cease Pray that a new generation, people of every nation Take the highways of the sky, on wings of peace They'll Take the highways of the sky,
Sing for the splendour of living, sing for the gladness of giving Thanks for all the happiness, any morning may bring Sing for the world of tomorrow, leaving the past and its sorrow Life belongs to those who lift their hearts and sing For those who lift their hearts and sing
Songs of a new generation, brothers of every nation We salute you as you fly far up into the blue On the world of tomorrow, leaving the past and its sorrow Lifting up our joyful hearts, to fly with you And lifting up our joyful hearts.
