January 28th 1986 
I remember the newscast interrupting the TV I was watching 
At home from school my best friend was there 
If I recall correctly 
I thought, "Oh my god Gaddafi has bombed us from a tiny country" 
Far away though I didn't know where Libya was exactly 
But we sat there and watched the disaster 
Of the Space Shuttle Challenger 
Exploding over the Atlantic Ocean 

73 seconds it had only been gone 73 seconds 
A minute and a few 
Our lives are made of minutes made of seconds 
One day will be the last for me for you 
Give me 73 seconds of truth 

You can't escape with money or power 
Death in all its glory and profundity comes for everyone 
Could be a failed O-ring seal in a solid rocket booster and a fire 
Could be the impact of the crew compartment slamming into the water 
Could be a car wreck, a violent attack, or something genetic from your father 
But we all go one way or another 
Like those 7 brave souls in the Challenger 
Who were lost over the Atlantic Ocean 

73 seconds it had only been gone 73 seconds 
A minute and a few 
Our lives are made of minutes made of seconds 
One day will be the last for me for you 
Give me 73 seconds of truth 

32 month hiatus of the shuttle program 
There was negligence on NASA's part sure, it's a government agency 
What did you expect, efficiency and concern for human beings?
They knew about the dangers but were corrupted by "go fever" 
Like a bride who's not in love but really really really really wants a wedding 
I watched it on TV 
Christa McAuliffe I remember when you gave your life 
Snuffed out over the Atlantic Ocean 

73 seconds it had only been gone 73 seconds 
A minute and a few 
Our lives are made of minutes made of seconds 
One day will be the last for me for you 
Give me 73 
Give me 73 
Give me 73 seconds of truth
