Columbia Lost, it was a day that I could hardly forget
Feelings well up inside, no few words can describe
the pain, how can I ever explain?

Seven souls in a dream, only to perish such an awful fate
Dreams falter, a fire turns to embers on this sad date.

More than a bird in the sky.
More than meets your eyes.
When hope turns to fear, when the world
seems to fall on deaf ears, please why?

A bird in the sky, shining like a beacon of light
on us, a star in the night in freedom's flight
a diamond in the rough

Is this the way our dreams and loved ones go?
Flames falling, flames falling
How can we live? How can we grow?
flames falling. flames falling
What lies in store for us now and next?
Hearts broken, hearts broken
Is life just for play, or is it a test?
Needs mending

Let's make dreams real.
Let's make dream real.

Columbia found, it was a day I could hardly forget.
A crew returns from space with a smile on their faces
More than words can ever explain yet

Wheels touch down. History made and a mission complete.
Their feet feel the ground once again but their hearts
stay in God's own Heaven's hands.
