THE COLORFUL BIRD IN THE SKY, THAT GLISTEN IN THE SUN ON ITS WAY TO NORMAN MANLEY
THAT PUTS A SMILE ON THE FACE OF EVERYONE HOME AND ABROAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY

IVE NEVER BEEN ON NO OTHER AIRLINE B4, I WONDER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, IF ITS THE SAME MOOD
THE SMILE OF THAT WARM HOSTESS, THE AMBIANCE OF JAMAICAN ATMOSPHERE, THE SCENT OF THE FOOD

WHILE GOD IS THE WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS, WERE UP, UP AND AWAY WHENEVER THOSE OFF
WE GOT THE BEST PILOTS, NO NEED TO WORRY, OUR LIFE IS IN THEIR HANDS, WE CAN DOZE OFF

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING,WERE CURRENTLY FLYING AT 3O,OOO FEET OVER CUBA
THE PIECE OF JAMAICA THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH MORE AREA CODES THAN EVEN LUDA

WE NEVER CRASH, IS THAT SAY TO SAFE OR IS IT SAFE TO SAY WE NEVER CRASH, WE JUST GOD BLESS
NO TERRORISM ON BOARD THIS FLIGHT, EVEN WHEN TIMES ARE HARD AND WE HAD STRESS

PPL CAME THOUGH YOU AND MADE BILLIONS OFF YOU, U WERE HURT BADLY AND EVEN WHEN IT COST US WE HAD A SMILE
WE JUST WANTED TO KNOW WE HAD A PIECE OF JAMDOWN LEGACY FOR EVERY FUTURE MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD

BUT NOW UR GONE, FOR ONE LAST TIME THE LADIES PRESS THIER BLUE UNIFORMS AND STICK ON BADGE WEAR
LETS HELP U WITH UR CARRY LUGGAGE ONE LAST TIME, BEHIND THE SMILE, THERE COMES A SAD TEAR

CAUSE REDUNDANCY IS A LONG WORD TO SWALLOW, PIECE OF UR LIFE IS MISSING AND GONE
THANKS FOR 41 YEARS OF SERVICE...THE IRON BIRD MAY HAVE NESTED...BUT THE SPIRIT LIVES ON
