Keep the Dream Alive – Stephen Savitzky

In the year of Nineteen Eighty Six,

On an icy winter’s day

The shuttle Challenger left the pad

And started on her way

The shuttle Challenger lifted off

With seven brave women and men

In flames they died just ten miles high,

And never came home again.

Never came home again,

In flames they died just ten miles high

And never came home again.

And seventeen years later

Nearly forty miles high,

Columbia’s wreckage wrote a line

Of fire across the sky

But long before the jetstream blew

Her trail of smoke away

We saw that it marked a highway

We would travel again some day.

–2003–02–01

So never say that they died in vain

Nor stay on the ground afraid,

The stars are one step closer now

Because of the price we’ve paid.

And mourn for the shuttles that fly no more,

And weep for the friends we’ve lost,

But to leave the Earth will still be worth

Whatever it has to cost.

And fire no guns in last salute

But let the rockets roar,

And reach for the wide and starry sky

As Challenger did before.

And raise no earthbound slab of stone,

To mark the place they lie,

But write their names with a shuttle’s flames,

Ten miles in the sky.

And here’s a toast to the shuttle crews

Who died for the dream of space

And all the pioneers who have

The sky for a resting place.

No grave nor tombstone do they need,

For their memory will survive

As long as we fly beyond the sky

And keep the dream alive.

Keep the dream alive,

As long as we fly beyond the sky

And keep the dream alive.

Keep the dream alive,

Let the shuttles fly beyond the sky

And keep the dream alive.

Pioneer’s Song «“ Jordin Kare

Pioneer’s Song «“ escrita por Jordin Kare, interpretada por Julia Ecklar, Leslie Fish

We sent them out to the planets to worlds beyond our own

Where frail men dared not venture they travel on alone

Though they be no more than robots to the stars themselves they steer

And we wish them on their journey all the luck of the pioneer

They set their course for Jupiter the ruler of the worlds

To gain their speed from his mighty pull as from a slingshot hurled

They stole for us his image, his secrets guarded dear

But gave in turn a royal gift in the luck of the pioneer

Then on and out to Saturn, the ringed queen of skies

And through the very rings themselves they carried our distant eyes

We feared them for their safety, but they could know no fear

And they left their name on the gap they found by the luck of the pioneer

The sun grows dim behind them, a billion miles or more

The stars are there before them, a glittering distant shore

An age will pass before the day a strange sun draws them near

And «˜till that day we’ll raise a toast to the luck of the pioneer

But should some other find them as the galaxy they roam

And study these strange craft of ours and seek to learn their home

They carry our maps upon them in friendship written clear

And we give to the race that finds them all the luck of the pioneer

And when men someday follow to the places they have been

We’ll take the paths they’ve marked for us and see the sights they’ve see

To Jupiter and Saturn to the stars themselves we’ll steer

And we pray that God but grant us then the luck of the pioneer

Aye, we pray that God but grant us then the luck of the pioneer
