Forty Miles Away
Fifteen Thousand Miles An Hour,

Seven Died Today
A Tragic Meteor Shower.

We Played The Space Race
Some May Say We’ve Won.

It Was Never About First Place.
It’s About What We Have Done.

Age Old Grudges, We Set Aside.
Nations Came Together.

The U. S. And Russia, Side By Side,
Working For Something Better.

Cooperation Across The Globe
International Space Endeavors.

Humanity, This Side It Shows
That We All Live Together.

The Science That Colombia
And Her Sisters Brought To Life

Touches Me And Touches You
Each Day Of Our Lives.

It’s More Than Just Some Lab Tests
Experiments In Outer Space

They Risk It All And Try Their Best
For All The Human Race.

The Seven That Died Today
Are Heroes To Me.

I Bid Them Farewell
Wish Their Loved Ones Well
Blessed May They Be.
