Verse 1 There’s a sunrise on the Florida pines, Gold on the cypress, sweet and bright, And a young heart with a steady climb Chased down a dream by morning light. She ran with the wind through high school towns, Left footfalls like a faith-filled drum— A state record leaping over doubt, High jump champion, one more win won. Chorus Oh, Lord, hear the way the angels sing, In every prayer she ever wore— An amazing girl with a righteous grin, Accepted to the Air Force shore. ’Cause God don’t just open up a door, He lifts the wings we didn’t know, And now her name is written clear On an Academy road. Verse 2 Shauna and David, mom and dad, Hands clasped tight like steady ground, They watched her chase the call of flight, Through every hard-earned, hopeful round. They said, “Keep your eyes on heaven’s throne, Let discipline be your flame,” And when her results came like answered prayer, They danced through joy and praise the same. Chorus Oh, Lord, hear the way the angels sing, In every prayer she ever wore— An amazing girl with a righteous grin, Accepted to the Air Force shore. ’Cause God don’t just open up a door, He lifts the wings we didn’t know, And now her name is written clear On an Academy road. Verse 3 In the quiet hush of old library aisles, When the world was turning slow, She met another cadet, Gus, With a kind of courage you can’t outgrow. Their voices found a common breath, Their laughter softened all the strain— And before they knew the morning light, They were holding hands, one in the same. Chorus Oh, Lord, hear the way the angels sing, In every prayer she ever wore— An amazing girl with a righteous grin, Accepted to the Air Force shore. ’Cause God don’t just open up a door, He lifts the wings we didn’t know, And now her name is written clear On an Academy road. Bridge Now training days are long and tough, But love can still be prayer on its way, And in their hearts—still steady as a compass— They seek Your will every day. They’re not forgotten on Sundays, Not just cadets in uniform; They serve in the local church with teaching hands, Helping kids find joy and form. Final Verse So let the miles roll on like runway lights, Let the discipline keep time— Their families stand in grateful awe, With pride that feels like heaven’s rhyme. And somewhere beyond the changing sky, God smiles down, like only He can, On their dedication, on their love, On their country and their plan. Final Chorus Oh, Lord, hear the way the angels sing, Over every mile they’ve roared— An amazing girl with a steady heart, And a future You restored. ’Cause You don’t just start a dream in flight, You guide it, keep it true— With hands held close and hope still growing, God’s faithful smile is coming through.
