Guardians Brave Let Palmdale Play

For here fly the stars of the USA
Visionary, Pilot, Artist, Engineer
Keeping us safe so nothing to fear
Yeager, Barnes, Walker, Rutan
People with guts who said “I can”
Flying Fortresses Super and Strato
Spirit Liberator birds flying alto
Blackbird, Falcon, Eagle, Hawk yield
White stripes on heaven’s blue field
Signaling us our Freedom this day
To act the lyrical Antelope. Play!
