What do you do when you're falling
You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?
And it's 24 miles to the beacon
There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You're Number 1, anticipating you

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You're Number 1, anticipating you

You're caught in a trap!
There's another engine failure!
No, you can't turn back!
Gotta get through the blinding hail!

You're a prisoner of the dark sky
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricane's
Coming in now for the kill
Our hope's with you
Rider in the blue

What do you do when you're searching
Lost in zero visibility?
You're invisible on the radar screen
You wonder what your fate will be

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

The traffic controller is calling
"Victor-Juliet" - your identity
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk Emergency!"

Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!

Our hope's with you
Rider in the blue (He's five miles out, he's five miles out...)
Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating
You'll be celebrating, when you're down and braking

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)

Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
