Oh Amelia

Who owns the sea?
Who owns the sky?
Out here underneath the stars
We set our course and fly
Of course we fly

Oh Amelia
I’m about as old as you
When you took your solo flight in 1932

Oh Amelia
Maybe our paths crossed
When you came down from the clouds to avoid the frost

How did you want to be remembered?
How did you want to be remembered?
Even though you lost the adventure
Was it still worth while?

How did you want to be remembered?
How did you want to be remembered?
Even though you lost the adventure
Was it worth your time?

Who owns the sea?
Who owns the sky?
Out here underneath the stars
We’ll be at home awhile
You and I

Oh Amelia
Did you feel any doubt
Falling from 3000 feet that time that you spun out?

Oh Amelia
You caught yourself, alright
And showed the world a woman’s place is sometimes first in flight

How did you want to be remembered?
How did you want to be remembered?
Even though you lost the adventure
Was it still worth while?

How did you want to be remembered?
How did you want to be remembered?
Spread your silver sings of adventure
And go out in style

How do you want to be remembered?
How do you want to be remembered?
Even if you lose the adventure
Is it worth your while?
How do you want to be remembered?
