[Pre-Chorus]
But DI kept getting hired And the EWorld War II crew, they retired
And the Dgirls all thought much higher of mEe N.C1986 the first female DAmerican captain in hEistory
[Chorus]
GbmSuddenly I'm in the Ecockpit DSuddenly I've got my wings
GbmSuddenly all of those Epilots protested me Well theDy can get their ownE dN.C.rinks!
GbmSuddenly there's no one Esaying "stay grounded" DLooking down, passing them by
GbmSuddenly there's nothing Ein betweenN.C. me and theA skyD E
[Bridge]
Suddenly I've Egot an all female crew The news talked, it made Dheadlines across theE world
Suddenly it Gbmstopped No one saying, "You Ecan't" or "You won't"
Or "You Dknow you're not anythingE 'cause you're a girl"
[Outro] D E Suddenly I'm getting married
And we're putting Dpins on the map where we'veE flown DSuddenly I am aE mother
And suddenly Dshocked at how much they'veE grown DSuddenly I'm wondering how myE parents would feel
Seeing me Dteaching men to beE pilots 'Cause Dsuddenly I am aE senior instructor anGbmd somehow I'm 51
DSuddenly I'm flyingE Paris to Dallas Across The DAtlantic and feelingE calm
When Dsuddenly someone onE air to air traffic says "At D8:46 there's been aE terrorist action"
And the Done thing I loved more thanE anything was useN.C.d as the bomGbmb DSuddenly I'm in aE hotel
DSuddenly something hasE died DSuddenly there's somethingE in between me and the skAy
