A Fighter Pilot

William was a fighter pilot
Back in world war one
He was so naive
He thought it would be fun.

Somewhere deep in Berlin
He learnt his lesson fast
As he saw his best friend die
Caught up in a bomb blast.

No time to grieve
No time to feel
His plane has been hit
This war just got real.

As his plane begins to fall
His body is in pain
As he fights to save the engines
There's no time to Complain.

Hoping for a miracle
With battle raging all around
God knows how he did it
He lands the plane on the ground.

90 years later
On Remembrance Day
William goes to remember
The role he had to play.
