Half a tail fin shot away, to keep on track we couldn't stay Must escape, find our position, making first a good decision Radar, radio out of range, an astro fix would make a change The heavens high could solve our plight Just make the calculation right So from the sky for some came slaughter Unhappiness from every quarter While luckily for us on high we gained our safety from the sky by Charles Kaye
