Little Changes
Wessex Flight - Leuchars - October 1992
That others may live - we've worked hard each day
That others may live - to work hard and play
That others may live - our purpose has been
That others may live - where death might have been.
The Squadron at rest the pace seems so slow
A contrast indeed from the scramble we know
The team it reacts - the scramble bell goes
A polished routine - the training it shows.
The team it's been tested - by day and by NIGHT
Yet now we respond when only it's light
Our history records the successes there've been
Short sighted superiors this history not seen.
The future they say no problems will hold
Protection assured our clients are told
But do they believe that assurance they give
Honours our resolve, THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE.
