Rolled out of bed
Mom was at work
Turned on the TV
Watched the news with my nephew
Woke up my sister screaming
Couldn't believe what I was seeing
Though I watched it live
Couldn't believe my eyes
The space shuttle
A ball of flames
Breaking up over Texas skies
Witnessing disaster
When all I wanted to see
Was the shuttle landing safely
No chance of the crew alive
Such brave souls
No longer with us
Challenger's final mission
The shuttle now is gone
