1997: Eleven years ago...
01/28/86 11:39am:
"Challenger, go at throttle
up...."
Early in the
morning sunlight
Soaring on
the wings of dawn
Here I'll live
and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't
come down no more
Higher than
the birds I'm flying
Crimson skies
of ice and fire
Borne on wings
of steel, I have so much to feel
And I won't
come down no more
Sail on, sail
on
I will rise
each day to meet the dawn
So high, so
high
I've climbed
the mountains of the sky
Without my
wings, you know I'd surely die
I found my
freedom flying high
I've climbed
the mountains of the sky
Floating on
a cloud of amber
Searching for
the rainbow's end
Earth so far
below me; I'm here alone
And I won't
come down no more |
