Silent Key |
| On the 28th of January 1986 |
| Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed |
| And she died, and she died, and she died |
| For the next agonising two minutes and forty-five long seconds |
| She called out the truth on a broken radio: |
| «I'm alive, I’m alive, I’m alive» |
| It came as some surprise to realise that as she lost everything |
| The world was revealed in a transmission so real that she understood everything: |
| You’re still alive, you’re still alive |
| Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away |
| A home-made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home |
| Came alive, came alive, came alive |
| And so the four-year-old amateur operator thus became the only person to hear |
| Christa’s last desperate communiqué |
| «We're alive, we’re alive, we’re alive» |
| It came as some surprise to realise, while he didn’t catch everything |
| The world was revealed in a transmission so real that he understood everything |
| You’re still alive |
| And Christa said |
| «The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love |
| While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea |
| The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love |
| While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea |
| The darkness up above led me on like unrequited love |
| While all the things I need were down here in the deep blue sea» |
| At four years old, I heard the truth on my radio |
| So now I keep a moment’s silence for my silent key |
| My silent key |
| My silent key |
| My silent key |
