Lyrics
Come sing a song of the airmen
That will echo on for aye
Just like the army and navy
They have their part to play
They are a mighty unit
The airmen strong and free
“Fly on ye sons of freedom
Defend our liberty”
Chorus
Oh wings in the dawning
From horizons of the free
They rise to prove the might of right
Over land and air and sea
On wings in the dawning
Our vanguard they shall be
Supremacy of spirit maintains our liberty
They fly, they sing
As they rise on the wing
Thru the day, thru the night
Leading on to victory
“On wings in the dawning
And thru adversity
Rise to the skies and show the world
We always shall be free
Performance
