Major Tom (Coming Home)

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go, are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort
The countdown starts, watching in a trance
The crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
'Send me up a drink', jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us, drifting falling
Floating weightless, calling calling home
Second stage is cut, were now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect, requested data
What will it effect, when all is done
Thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full, not responding
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving
Turn the thrusters on, were standing by
Theres no reply
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, calling, calling, home
Across the stratosphere
A final message, 'Give my wife my love'
Then nothing more
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They dont realize, hes alive
No one understands but Major Tom sees
Now the life commands, this is my home
Im coming home
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming home
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming home
Earth below us, drifting, falling
Floating, weightless, coming, coming home
Home
