My parents must have thought
they had a crazy kid
'Cause I was one of those kids
who always knew what I wanted
They took me down to the airport
to see all the planes departing
Watching them fly something
inside of me was starting
I was eight when I told them
that I'd be a pilot
But I was too young and too short
And there were no female captains
And my dad said be patient he
said just see what happens
But I took my first lesson came
down from the sky
And told my father I'd fly
for the rest of my life
And I got my first job flying
for a mortician
In a tiny bonanza
just a corpse and me
Five dollars an hour
for flying dead bodies
I had to climb over their faces
just to get to my seat
And suddenly the wheels lift off
The ground is falling backwards
I am suddenly alive
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
Suddenly everything's changed
Suddenly I'm not too young
or too short
And the passengers
in the back don't complain
Suddenly I'm flying
company charters
Suddenly everything's high
Suddenly there's nothing in
between me and the sky
American Airlines had
the prettiest planes
So I applied as a flight engineer
But the World War II pilots
they all complained
They said girls shouldn't be
in the cockpit
Hey lady hey baby hey
Why don't you grab us a drink
And the flight attendants
weren't my friends back then
And they said
Are you better than us
do you think
But I kept getting hired
And the World War II crew
they retired
And the girls all thought
much higher of me
1986 the first female
American captain in history
Suddenly I'm in the cockpit
Suddenly I've got my wings
Suddenly all
of those pilots protested me
Well they can get
their own drinks
Suddenly there's no one saying
Stay grounded
Looking down passing them by
Suddenly there's nothing in
between me and the sky
Suddenly I've got
an all female crew
The news talked it made
headlines across the world
Suddenly it stopped
No one saying
You can't or You won't
Or You know you're not anything
'cause you're a girl
Suddenly I'm getting married
And we're putting pins
on the map where we've flown
Suddenly I am a mother
And suddenly shocked
at how much they've grown
Suddenly I'm wondering
how my parents would feel
Seeing me teaching men
to be pilots
'Cause suddenly I am a senior
instructor and somehow I'm 51
Suddenly I'm flying Paris
to Dallas
Across The Atlantic
and feeling calm
When suddenly someone
on air to air traffic says
At 8:46 there's
been a terrorist action
And the one thing I loved more
than anything was used as the bomb
Suddenly I'm in a hotel
Suddenly something has died
Suddenly there's something in
between me and the sky
