Coming home from outer space
Down to earth they fly
Back to their beloved ones - surely not to die!
Technology never fails
That's what they are told
Columbia crew, take off now - young and strong and bold!

Flash in the sky - no one knows why
Heatshield cracked - heaven's bells chime
Flash in the sky - Seven people died
Their deeds remembered for the rest of time...
Flash in the sky!

Reaching now the atmosphere
Mother earth is near
Sensors showing a strange heat - everything is clear
Houston knows something is wrong
But it is to late
Plasma enters the left wing - it will decide their fate

Flash in the sky - no one knows why
Heatshield cracked - heaven's bells chime
Flash in the sky - Seven people died
Their deeds remembered for the rest of time...
Flash in the sky!
Flash - In the sky!
Flash - In the sky!
