Why ask me if I'm worried
I'm always keen, you know
You're the one who makes a fuss
when it's time for me to go
I'll be back soon, before you know
The mission has a simple goal
I'm in good hands, they bring me down
If I ever lose control
(counting down)
Seconds left take days to pass
I never tire of launch control
The last and first voice I will hear
During this celestial stroll
Cleared to go, the engines fire
Kicked in the chest by gravity
Looping up to heavens high
In seconds darkness holds me
