A musical number where Amelia Earhart reflects upon her discovery of the joy of flight.

Earhart’s First Lyrics

When I was a young woman, I fell in love for the first time.
It was at an airshow. It was a stunt plane that stole my heart.
That little red airplane said something to me as it swished by.
Ever since, I’ve wanted to fly.

So much to do, and so much to see
Still I’m wondering who I will be
Today I flew, and my heart agrees
It’s flight that might be the key

Birds can glide, why can’t I
Here I start to set my sights high
Eyes turned skyward, I’ve been inspired
I will return to the sky

Anything for this dream of flight
My time will come and I will be bright

More, I’ll do more, there’s much still to try
I’ll look for something more up there in the sky
When I fly I know I cannot let this chance pass me by
Nothing will ever be the same again

That first flight changed my life.
By the time I was 200 feet off the ground, I just knew I had to fly!

I’m soaring and more, up here it’s all new
In for more than before, what I could pursue
What a view, it’s all blue, as I make my first debut!
...I flew!
I can do this, I was made for this, it was made for me… me!

I can be more, I’ll be more
I know this is right
I’ll adore what’s in store, in flight I delight

I will fight to new heights, ‘til my future’s within sight
Now I rewrite what life will be like for me

The adventure of life is worthwhile in itself.
Whatever happens, I know it’ll be a tale to tell.

Now my future is clear, a new frontier
From here I will forge a new life

With a life of flight, I know I can be so much more!
