like a beautiful butterfly bolted to a bullet
beautiful and fragile but not afraid to fly
up toward Heaven through the vast beautiful sky
she breaks free and flies on her own
gliding around earth like few have ever known
the butterfly is silent as she spreads her wings
but the Heaven echoes as the Angels sings
seven brave astronauts on the journey of their life
brothers and sisters, fathers, mother, husband and a wife
each one living their own dream
but together they are one team
each one has looked to earth from high above
and thought about the ones they love
and looked up at the stars and beyond
looked back to what we have and what's yet to be done
seven astronauts unaware of the Angels on their wing
they don't hear the sad song, they now sing
they know the danger of travel in space
but not the grim task, the seven Angels face
a beautiful butterfly bolted to a bullet
beautiful and fragile but not afraid to fly
up toward Heaven through a vast beautiful sky
seven new Angels take flight
seven new stars, adorn the Heavens tonight
