Lyrics

Finally made it there to the launching pad
Staring out at all the dreams you had
Were you feeling kind of scared
As our hope flowed through the air
No one made a sound as they started to count down
Then suddenly you were lifted off the ground
Off to the great beyond
And you crossed the break of dawn

But in that moment somehow it all went so wrong
The world collapsed into a scrambled song
We closed our eyes trying so desperately to hide
The day my teachers cried

Were you looking up or were you looking down
Could you feel our love rising straight up from the ground
Those trees we planted way back then are fully grown
And all your dreams are fully sown

What's it really like wherever you have gone
Are you gazing at the stars are you floating right along
Are you hearing Major Tom
Is the Rocket Man still gone
We've tried to carry on
It's been so very long

Playing out in the school yard shooting rockets way up high
Sitting inside our classroom studying the stars that fill the sky
Playing out in the school yard shooting rockets way up high
Sitting inside our classroom studying the stars that fill the sky
