What do you do when your falling,
You’ve got 30 degrees and you’re stalling out?
And it’s 24 miles to your beacon;
There’s a crack in the sky and the warning’s out.
Don’t take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You’re Number 1, anticipating you.
Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You’re Number 1, anticipating you.
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Calling all stations!

In great difficulty, over.
