Kathy Mar Minus Lyrics

Minus Lyrics

Grissom, White and Chaffee were the first to pay the price



But others now have felt the fatal falling of the dice



And seven more have lost their lives that we might win the skies



But nothing makes it easier when someone out there dies







Chorus:	 It's minus ten and counting but many more may die



	 As careful as we ever are it costs us lives to try



	 But all who take the risk of space say, "If we die then take our
place



	 And please when we are gone, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on."







And if we add the cosmonauts the count is now fourteen



Who paid their lives for men to go where man has never been



And each one knew the dangers and yet bravely still they tried



And begged us all to keep on flying even if they died







Chorus







We're minus ten who sought the stars but out across the lands



You'll see a million volunteers are raising up their hands



And all of them are well-prepared to pay that final cost



They know that space and all the stars are worth the lives we've lost







Chorus
