[Intro]
, , , ,
[Verse 1]
On solid fuel and wires,
Turn the key and light the fire,
We re leaving Earth today.
[Verse 2]
This rocket s burning bright,
We ll soon be out of sight,
And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushed back in my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home.
That ball of shiny blue,
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
[Chorus]
(Let ring)
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).
[Verse 3]
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
Fueled by science and solar power,
The ocean s racing past.
[Verse 4]
At half a thousand tons,
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
A bullet can t go half as fast.
[Pre-Chorus]
Floating from my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home (There goes home).
That brilliant ball of blue,
Is where I m from and also where I m going to.
[Chorus]
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).
[Bridge]
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]
(Strum each chord once)
, ,
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushed back in my seat,
Look out my window,
Here comes home (Home).
What once was fueled by fear,
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
[Chorus]
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),
[Outro]
You d know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You d know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You d know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You d know why I want to get back soon.
