So Far Away

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'll have to risk our
lives
Some will try to break us and cut us down to size
But just remember,
There can be no consulation prize, not in our eyes
It's a long way to go
We can't wait one more day
We need some one to light up the way
We may run out of time
Can you hear what we say?
Because hea ven is so far a way
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 intentions that we never lose 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 some one to light up the way
We may run out of time
Can you hear what we say?
Because hea ven is so far a way

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. . .
Enjoy all.
