"From The Distance" lyrics

They turned the countdown radio on
Flipped a switch as I blew into the sky
Pulling G's in a rocket high
Yeah I'll get there, maybe I'll get there
People praying in their living room
Holding their breath staring at the news
I know they wanna see me get there too
I'm not scared, baby I'll get there
Ohhhh

And I look at the earth
From the distance
Watch it turn
With my friends and my family
May we all get a taste
Of the cool outerspace
Riding the big bang
We can get lost we can be free
Can you see me from the distance?
Can you see me from the distance?

I run the numbers for a different place
I told my family to look up at the moon
Call in permission for a better view
Lets be fair, I'm already out here
I feel the star light heat on my face
I tap the gauge as they question my mistake
A pioneer with a will and a way
Yeah I'll get there, baby I'm not scared

And I look at the earth
From the distance
Watch it turn
With my friends and my family
May we all get a taste
Of the cool outerspace
Riding the big bang
We can get lost we can be free

[Control Room:] Lieutenant Tom, we have a situation
Officer Wayne has gone off course and is no longer responding
[Lt. Tom:] Wait... What? And his location?
[Control Room:] Sir it seems his course is set for Andromeda... over
[Lt. Tom:] I can't even say I'm surprised... I kind of hope he makes it

Can you see me from the distance?

And I look at the earth
From the distance
Watch it turn
With my friends and my family
May we all get a taste
Of the cool outerspace
Riding the big bang
We can get lost we can be free
Can you see me from the distance?
Can you see me from the distance?
Can you see me from the distance?
Can you see me from the distance?
