John Denver was one of the selected people to go into space with NASA's space shuttle program in 1986.
After one year of training together with the other ones selected, in the week before the take-off John was
called and he was told an extra crew member would go with meaning there wasn't enough room for John.
Furious as he was he still watched the live broadcast of the space shuttle take off.
Then in 73 seconds after the laucnch the space shuttle exploded, killing every one in the shuttle.
After this disaster John wrote this song...

Verse:
C Well I guess that you probably know by now Am I was one who wanted to fly F G C I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven C And I wanted to go for every man Am Every child, every mother of children F G C I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars C And I prayed that I'd find an answer there Am Or maybe I would find a song F G C Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard C And for all of the ones who live in fear Am And all of those who stand apart F G C My being there would bring us a little step closer together
Chorus:
F They were flying for me G C They were flying for everyone F G C They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone F They gave us their light G Am They gave us their spirit and all they could be F G C They were flying for me F G C They were flying for me
