Everything is ready
Got my spacesuit on
I’m sitting on the pad and I’m reading for launch
And I have been crossing off a list that I couldn’t forget
But there’s still one thing that I haven’t done yet
So I picked up the phone to see if you were home
Want to talk to you one last time
To say I’m off to search for life
But I just want to say goodbye
I’ve got such a long way to go
And I can’t stay here in this place
Destination: space
I’ve been looking back at all the places I’ve been
And I may never get this chance again
So I’m sitting in this rocket
Pointed at the sun
Countdown sequence 4-3-2-1
It’s not that I want to leave
It’s just I gotta believe
That there’s something more out there
And for what it’s worth
From the curve of the earth
I can see you wave goodbye
And if you look up to the sky
Know I’m way up high
I’ll think of you as I float by
So baby please don’t cry
I’ll be fine.
