What dwells beyond this world we know, has pushed us to pursue
The hidden realm of lofty space beyond our point of view
Curious minds, seeking knowledge and rising to the test
Seven heroes who soared above

...were Seven of the Best...

Dedicated to the cause, to explore the vast frontier
The dream to reach the stars above, was greater than the fear
Courage was not the only trait that helped them reach so high
Each one had to go the distance, to believe that they could fly
And now they fly with angel wings and they've earned the right to rest
Seven heroes who fulfilled their dream

...were Seven of the Best...
