No Way Through

What could they do               
No one could fly that stormy sky
Yet the call kept coming through                
Whatever could they do 
Through static they could feel the pain
From a desperate cry, all in vain
They heard the stress, really life or death                    

No way through
No way through the storm
That violent storm
Everybody knew                            
There was no way through            
Overhead there was ne’er any trace of blue
                                                              
Everybody knew    
                          
Then Fred Baker raised a hand
Someone must fly to lend a hand
With a volunteer crew
I know some how we’ll make it through
And so they rose into the skies
Fearing for their brave young lives
To face whatever darkened Fate
Lay before their eyes                              

But no one really knew
If they’d live to see it through
No way through
Nothing more they could do
Battered all the way
Battered ‘till the end of day

God only knew
God only knew
Through the last rays found
A lonely beacon marked the ground
And so they touched down
How ever did they safely make it through
God only                                                    
Was it only by His Grace                                       
They reached this lonely, desolate place 
       
A miracle, they say                                               
A precious life was saved that day                   
It was time to pray                                                
For everybody knew                                           
There was no way through.
