Off we go
Seat belts tight
Engine check – ok
Guided safe by ground control
The shuttle is on its way
2.650.000 Pounds of thrust
Rocket boosters separate
2:30 past lift off
Movin’ on
Winning height
Toward the open sky
Reach the orbit
Escape the gravitational pull of earth
Overwhelmed
By a perfect view
2 years hard work worth
Clearance for the final step
Destination’s near
Through the windshield
Right hand side
The space station appears
Little more
Looks alright
Closer now
Doin’ fine
Little more
Little right
Here it comes
Entering a brand new life
Touch – welcome everybody
Down – I’m glad you join this journey
Home – Watch it on your TV
Now – As you see we’re ready
Touch – welcome everybody
Down – this rendezvous’ about to be
Done – completed perfectly
Soon – let’s say “Hello” to the station’s crew
Never before
I felt so alive
Out in space
Out of time
Time is near
Time is right
Shuttle’s about
To depart
My fellows leave
They’re goin’ home
Out in space
I will be here on my own
Count – bye bye everybody
Down - this will be your Taxi
Home - time to meet your families
Soon - let me know you’re ready
Count – goodbye everybody
Down – have a pleasant journey
Home – time to meet your families
Soon - here I am relieving you
Bye an’ get home safe
I’ll keep an eye on you
While stayin’ alone in space
Bye an’ get home safe
I’ll be watchin’ you
On your way down to earth
