 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 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 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. . .
