Silent Key(Acoustic) - Frank Turner
On the twenty-eighth of january
Nineteen eighty-six
Christa McAuliffe gazed
in horror as the O-rings failed
And she died, and she died,
and she died
For the next agonizing two minutes
and forty-five long seconds
She called out the truth
on a broken radio
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
It came as some surprise to realize
that as she lost everything
The world was revealed
in a transmission so real that
She understood everything
You're still alive
You're still alive
Four thousand nautical miles
as the crow flies away
A homemade hand radio in the loft of
a Hampshire family home
Came alive, came alive, came alive
And so the four year old amateur
operator thus became the only
Person to hear Christa's
last desperate communicate
We're alive, we're alive,
we're alive
It came as no surprise to realise
that while he didn't
catch everything
The world was revealed in a
transmission so real that
He understood everything
You're still alive
And Christa said
The darkness up above
Led me on like unrequited love
While all the things I need were down
here in the deep blue sea
The darkness up above
Led me on like unrequited love
While all the things I need were down
here in the deep blue sea
The darkness up above
Led me on like unrequited love
While all the things I need were down
here in the deep blue sea
At four years old
I head the truth on my radio
So now I keep a moment silence
for my silent key
My Silent Key
My Silent Key
My Silent Key
