Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
[Chorus]
Four, three, two, one
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling home
[Verse 3]
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect, requested data
What will it effect when all is done?
Thinks Major Tom
[Verse 4]
Back at ground control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full, not responding
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
There's no reply
[Chorus]
Four, three, two, one
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling home
[Verse 5]
Across the stratosphere
A final message, "Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more
[Verse 6]
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They don't realize, he's alive
No one understands, but Major Tom sees
Now the light commands, this is my home
I'm coming home
[Chorus]
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling home
[Outro]
