No Flight, Tonight (rock ballad)
Do you believe that, sometimes, in the depths of despair, when we cry for help, a miracle may happen?

Lyrics
The message said 'urgent - be quick as you can',
'There's been a collision'. My nightmare began,
I crawled to the airport, two hours in a jam,
Eventually made it, I parked up and ran
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
The chapel was empty, I fell to my knees,
For once in my lifetime, I cried 'Help me, please.'
My eyes misting over, my tears flowing free,
Then I saw an angel, she reached out to me.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
'BAD WEATHER', I HEARD,
WISHED I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
THE MESSAGE BOARD SAID,
WISHED I COULD GROW WINGS INSTEAD.
'NO FLIGHT, TONIGHT'
'BAD WEATHER', I HEARD,
WISHED I COULD FLY LIKE A BIRD.
A miracle happened, next morning, news came
She made a recovery, she whispered my name.
