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 4, 3, 2, 1 Second stage is cut Back at ground control 4, 3, 2, 1 Across the stratosphere Far beneath the ship Earth below us Earth below us Earth below us |
