Laurence Overmire - Seven Set Free, Jan 28, 1986 (A Tribute to the Space Shuttle Challenger) lyrics

What was it That mocked sweet sleep A message from beyond Understanding Some doom Portended In the mist of a dream No heed taken… Challenger Daring courier to the impregnable Dark Blazing heavenward Bold and confident To touch the stars… Who saw the finger d**h's black-gloved hand Slip to the trigger And pull Seven helpless victims Through the fires of hell? Peer in dumb silence Mortals below Through clearing smoke Falling debris Your eyes cannot see Seven set free Soaring still to the great unknown They challenge us all. Take heed And listen Sounds in the night Speak truths in the light While the riddles of life Unanswered Remain.
