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.
