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 jsut 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 to close to the sun    The Challenger has fallen    And the race has now been run....
