    Story Behind the Song
    On my back porch the morning all of this took place, I looked North into a beautiful blue Texas sky. I live south of Houston and could not actually see the break up of the
    "COLUMBIA" and I thought of what was on the news. I thought of how pretty the blue Texas sky was. Maybe GOD made it like that to welcome those "SEVEN" home to heaven that day.

    Lyrics
    HIGH UP IN THE HEAVENS
    ON A BEAUTIFUL TEXAS DAY
    WHILE THE WORLD BELOW WAS WATCHIN'
    FOR THE HERO'S ON THEIR WAY
    THEIR MISSION ALMOST COMPLETED
    THE OL' "GREEN LIGHT" WAS ON
    IN ONLY SIXTEEN MINUTES
    THEY'D BE BACK SAFE AT HOME

    FRIENDS AND FAMILY WAITIN'
    NOT KNOWIN' WHAT WOULD BE
    EVERYONE WAS CHEERFUL
    NOT EXPECTING TRAGEDY
    THEY'ER VOICES HEARD NOT LONG AGO
    NOW TODAY ARE GONE
    THEY ONLY NEEDED SIXTEEN MINUTES
    TO BE BACK SAFE AT HOME

    CHORUS

    THEY ONLY NEEDED SIXTEEN MINUTES
    TO BE BACK SAFE AT HOME
    TOO OFTEN WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
    WHAT QUICKLY CAN BE GONE
    SEVEN SOULD WE'RE MISSIN'
    MANY FAMILIES MUST GO ON
    THEY ONLY NEEDED SIXTEEN MINUTES
    TO BE BACK SAFE AT HOME

    ON THAT BRIGHT BLUE TEXAS MORNING
    WITH A RUMBLE IN THE SKY
    THEY LEFT A HERO'S PATH TO GLORY
    LIKE A COMET PASSIN' BY
    WHEN THE NEWS SAID IT WAS OVER
    WE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE GONE
    THEY ONLY NEEDED SIXTEEN MINUTES
    TO BE BACK SAFE AT HOME

    BUT WHO IS THERE AMONG US
    WHO CAN SAY WITH CERTAINITY
    THAT THEY'RE NOT NOW WITH JESUS
    WAVIN' DOWN TO YOU AND ME
    IT HURTS CAUSE THEY'RE NOT WITH US
    FOR THE BOND WE HAD WAS STRONG
    BUT THEY'RE NOW IN A BETTER PLACE
    DON'T YOU SAY THEY'RE NOT AT HOME

    REPEAT CHORUS

    TAG

    NOW WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE
    ABOUT WHAT HAD GONE WRONG
    AND THAT THEY NEEDED SIXTEEN MINUTES
    TO BE BACK SAFE AT HOME
