On solid fuel and wires,
Turn the key and light the fire,
We're leaving Earth today.
This rocket's burning bright,
Pushed back in my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home.
That ball of shiny blue,
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Out where stars are glistening,
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
If you could see our nation,
From the International Space Station,
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
All black and white just fades to gray,
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
You can't make out borders from up here,
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
Break
Pre-Chorus
Pushed back in my seat,
