Born among the fields where the corn is wild Amelia would sit and count Missouri miles She was a born-to-wander Kansas City child Sailing on the wings of a kite she'd play (sailing away) Dreaming of the time she would fly away And what was written on the wind, well you could say Amelia Earhart do you read me (Am I coming in loud and clear) Send a message if you need me And you know that I'll be there High up in the skies in a flying machine (flying away) Amelia looked down and realized her dream And there it stretched as far away as she could see People in the streets on the world below Listen for the news on the radio But could they see just how much further she would go Amelia Earhart do you read me (Am I coming in loud and clear) Send a message if you need me And you know that I'll be there Heaven fell to earth on a broken wing (falling away) A picture of a face in a magazine But what was written in the end was never seen Amelia Earhart do you read me (Am I coming in loud and clear?) Send a message if you need me And you know that I'll be there Amelia Earhart do you read me (Am I coming in loud and clear?) Send a message if you need me And you know that I'll be there
