We say welcome to the mission
|
Show us all what you can do
|
We need a man with vision
|
So we put our trust in you
|
And now we hope sincerely
|
That you'll do the best that you can do
|
|
Oh for sure it won't be easy
|
And we will have to risk our lives
|
Some will try to break us
|
And cut us down to size
|
But just remember
|
There can be no consolation prize
|
Not in our eyes
|
|
It's a long way to go
|
We can't wait one more day
|
We need someone to light up the way
|
We may run out of time
|
Can you hear what we say?
|
Because heaven is so far away
|
|
Although time is getting short
|
There's still some sand left in the glass
|
And now we have a living breathing
|
Rocket man at last
|
It's time to take a step
|
And nail our colours to the mast
|
|
No more talk of great adventures
|
When it's movement that we need
|
It must be our intention
|
That we never loose the lead
|
So count us down to zero
|
And let's get up to speed
|
We're up and away
|
|
It's a long way to go
|
We can't wait one more day
|
We need someone to light up the way
|
We may run out of time
|
So believe what we say?
|
Because heaven is so far away
|
|
And so now they cry for justice
|
As if justice will be done
|
But the eye up in the sky
|
Was flying too close to the sun
|
The Challenger has fallen
|
And the race has now been run....
