I blast off around 9
And in no time
I'm in a new dimension

The world watched for one night
The fateful flight
That ushered in a new era

Beyond the Terra
Beyond the Terra

We've all seen the steps of man
Set down in brave new lands
But do we know their

On solid fuel and wires
Turn the key and light the fires
We’re leaving earth today
This rocket’s burning bright
We’ll soon be out of sight
And orbiting in space

Pushed back in my seat
Look out my window
There goes home
That ball of shiny blue
Houses ever

So bright,
Jewel in the night,
There in my window below.

So bright,
Dark as the night,
With all of our cities aglow.

It's long been our way,
To honor this day,
And offer goodwill to men.

And though,
Where ever we go,
It's come round to christmas

Ground control to major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on

Commencing countdown, engines on

Detach from station, and may god's love be with you
