Morse Code Saves Our Souls

COUNTLESS LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED

THANKS TO SAMUEL MORSE

HIS SIMPLE CODE OF DOTS AND DASHES

HAVE HELPED TRAVELLERS STEER THEIR COURSE

IN 1912 AS THE ICEBERG STRUCK

OUT WENT THE DISTRESS CALL

MORSE CODE SAVED OVER SEVEN HUNDRED LIVES

WITH GOOD FORTUNE IT MIGHT HAVE SAVED THEM ALL

EVEN TODAY THE MORSE CODE

HELPS SAILORS IN DANGER TO COPE

THE IMPRISONED HOSTAGES IN IRAN

TAPPED ON WALLS TO KEEP UP HOPE

NOW THAT WE EMBARK ON A NEW AGE

OF SPACE TRAVEL FOR YOU AND ME

NEWS OF THE SPACE FLIGHTS WILL SPREAD

GLOBALLY BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR TEA

THE EXCITING NEWS WILL TRAVEL FAST

BY EVERY COMMUNICATION MODE

BUT RADIO HAMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

WILL TELL ONE ANOTHER USING MORSE CODE
