Heroes in the Skies

In the heart of Britain's darkest hour,
When the clouds of war did loom,
Young men rose with steadfast power,
Defenders of our land and home.

Up they soared, into the fire,
Wings of steel, hearts of gold.
Guided by a nation's desire,
Brave and bold, their story told.

Oh, Heroes in the skies, you answered the call,
With valour and might, you gave it your all.
Churchill's words forever true,
So much owed by so many, to so few.

In the blue where eagles fly,
With courage that will never fade,
They faced the storm, they touched the sky,
Their legacy in history laid.

Through the flak and roaring thunder,
Guardians of the free and fair.
Their sacrifice, we remember,
Echoes of their daring air.

From the cliffs of Dover to London’s heart,
Their spirit lives, it won’t depart.
In every field and rolling hill,
Their courage stands, enduring still.

From Spitfires’ wings to Hurricane’s roar,
They held the line, they won the war.
A grateful land, forever more,
Salutes the airmen, who fought before.

So let the banners wave on high,
And let the songs of praise be heard.
For those who soared into the sky,
We'll ne'er forget their noble word.

Oh, Heroes in the skies, we remember you,
With eternal thanks, our hearts renew.
For never in history, such courage did ensue,
So much owed by so many, to so few.
