(Verse 1)
Up in the sky, at 37,000 feet,
Flight 009 soared, a journey complete.
London to Auckland, across the world so wide,
But trouble was waiting, in the clouds they’d collide.
(Pre-Chorus)
Engines roaring, then silence fell,
A tale of courage, we’d live to tell.
Through darkness and fear, the crew held tight,
Guiding us home in the perilous night.
(Chorus)
Flight 009, through the ash and the flame,
A miracle story, forever a name.
With engines gone and hearts so near,
The stars lit the way through the stratosphere.
(Verse 2)
“Mayday, mayday, four engines have failed,”
Captain Eric Moody’s voice so veiled.
“We’re doing our damnedest to get her down,”
A message of calm as fears abound.
(Pre-Chorus)
The crew stayed steady, hope held fast,
Through volcanic clouds, the die was cast.
Smoke in the cabin, a silent prayer,
The courage of heroes carried them there.
(Chorus)
Flight 009, through the ash and the flame,
A miracle story, forever a name.
With engines gone and hearts so near,
The stars lit the way through the stratosphere.
(Bridge)
“Ladies and gentlemen,” Moody began,
“We have a small problem with all four fans.”
Passengers braced, faith took its place,
As the engines relit in a race against fate.
(Chorus)
Flight 009, through the ash and the flame,
A miracle story, forever a name.
With engines gone and hearts so near,
The stars lit the way through the stratosphere.
(Outro)
So here’s to the crew, the calm in the storm,
For guiding their plane to safety and warm.
The Jakarta Incident, a legend that flies,
Flight 009 lives, a tale in the skies.
