Lyrics
Out on the Island-
Northerly Island,
Sat a great airfield:
Known to us as Meigs!
Then in the darkness-
The trucks came upon us,
And tore up our runway
And left us with X's!
We will not be silenced
We gather together
Our protest we grant them
As we sing our anthem!
Out on the Island-
That's Northerly Island,
Sat a great airfield:
Known to us as Meigs!
We do see an airport,
With planes flying overhead.
And classrooms and displays
For all to enjoy!
Slowly we're building
Momentum for rebirth;
Our earth they can't condemn
So we sing our Anthem!
Out on the Island-
Northerly Island,
Sat a great airfield:
Known to us as Meigs!
