Star Flyers

Star Flyers greet daylight
Final mission, Angel’s Flight
On lofty wing you now shall soar
Behind the light of heaven’s door

A lifelong wish to fly in space
So long you trained to take your place
The fear was not as great, it seems
As not fulfilling precious dreams

More silent tears the Eagle cries
For seven lost in clear blue skies
A morning’s promise now downcast
The world’s flags, all fly half-mast

A hero’s dirge, an eternal flame
Silent prayers our last refrain
Into God’s arms, where angels soar
Your souls reside forevermore

Star Flyers soaring high
Now spread their wings in sacred sky
The hero’s lives of those so bold
Rest safely in our Father’s fold
