One by one they disappeared
The minds of science, the nation's leaders
To meet again at destination

All those who mattered waited for the word
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh pilot
This paradise is lost forever
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh Pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made

Pilot, woah oh pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
