"There Is A Fellow I Know Up In Heaven
In God's Presence I'm Sure He Must Be
For On Earth His Life Was So Kindly
And He Died To Keep Other Men Free.
He Flew On His Last Great Mission
With The Courage He Always Possessed
I Know As His Plane Motors Sputtered
He Was Ready To Meet The Test.
If Only All Men Would Live As He
Unselfish, Thoughtful, Sincere And True
This Beautiful World God Gave To Us
Would Be Much Nicer To Journey Thru."
