Challenger - The Kite String Tangle

Something isn’t right I swear

Please help me come back home

A load too much to bear

Is there someone there?

Because I’ve never felt more alone

Something doesn’t seem quite right

It’s a disaster in motion

From the greatest height

See it burning bright

This fire rains over the ocean

Racing hearts and stoic faces

Even with the nation’s graces

Wave goodbye, give a subtle nod

Free fall touch the face of god

Push through and I see sunrise

Hung in the air like northern lights

Mother’s hushes and camera flashes

Mistook the stars for hiding places

Something isn’t right I swear

Please help me come back home

A load too much to bear

Is there someone there?

Because I’ve never felt more alone

Something doesn’t seem quite right

It’s a disaster in motion

From the greatest height

See it burning bright

This fire rains over the ocean

Heard the call of the deep Atlantic

Falling embers like pyrotechnics

Precious metal on a coral bed

Fell short of the stars they said

Jets fly missing their formation

Firm handshakes, commisserations

Sweaty palms and seven tight cheques

Tossed around and laid to rest

Something isn’t right I swear

Please help me come back home

A load too much to bear

Is there someone there?

Because I’ve never felt more alone

Something doesn’t seem quite right

It’s a disaster in motion

From the greatest hight

See it burning bright

This fire rains over the ocean
