Ground control calling out into the void
Rocket engines burning through the sky
Up we go through the darkness
Earth below just a ball of blue light

Stars all around in endless black
Silence thick yet so profound
We spin around the planet's curve
Weightless thoughts floating with no sound

Look down see the glow of life
Up here feel the quiet and the thrill
Orbiting edges of our dreams
Rocket man riding the chill

Ground control how’s our trajectory
Perfect path well within the line
Breathe steady let the metal glide
Feel the pulse of the cosmic time

Home is just a memory faint
Gravity will pull us down again
Chasing whispers of the universe
Endless journey’s about to end

Look down see the glow of life
Up here feel the quiet and the thrill
Orbiting edges of our dreams
Rocket man riding the chill
