Eli Nathan - Freedom Flight lyrics

The moon obscured by the dark clouds, it was a black Russian night Engines warming on a MiG preparing for an illegal flight The Russian air force pilot on his forehead beads of sweat Racing down the runway now on a ride he won't forget Chorus Oh! Up, up and away It's a flight for freedom Onwards to that day Got to leave, can't stay It was some time later when an alarm went off at base And from somewhere behind him planes took up the chase On and on they flew hot on his track Push the throttle to the speed of sound 'cause there's no turning back Oh! Up, up and away It's a flight for freedom Onwards to that day Got to leave, can't stay Somewhere in Tel Aviv there's a bleep on a radar screen The prime minister's awakened; a Russian Mig has been seen "Identify yourself!" the radio crackled. "Are you friend or foe?" He answered them with the only two Hebrew words that he did know Ani Yehudi I'm flying for my freedom Just one Jew alone I'm on my way back home
