'Cross the bering strait  To a foreign land  I took the sky just like I planned  Left my old life behind  There in the ice and snow  Followed a rainbow to Mexico  Somewhere this side of lucky  Just shy of goin' down  There's a pilot with her wings on fire  And she doesn't even notice  She's got magic on her mind  'Cause she's flying solo for the first time  Chorus:  Flying solo  Like an angel in the night  Flyin' solo  Across the great divide  I've been down so low, now I'm up so high  There ain't nothin' short of dying  Is gonna make me change my mind  Flyin' solo, flyin' solo  Like a fallin' leaf  I fell down from your tree  Chalk one up to prosperity  In search of warmer waters  I'm like a bird gone south  Don't know just what I'll find  But I'm findin' out  Now here I'm dancin' with the moon  Spinning out of control  Never be the same again  'Cause there's a place on the horizon  Where it hardly ever rains  The sun is always shining  Freedom is it's name  Chorus  Around the world that's where I'll be  Amelia Earheart's got nothin' on me  Chorus
