G D Come back home safe to your family, D G Come back home safe from the moon, C D Let the Earth’s gravity, G Em C Guide you gently to the sea, G D G To 8 billion souls, Cheering you home. G D You’ve been out there facing eternity, D C G Out in the great dark expanse, G D Leading the way for humanity, C D G Giving the future a chance. Two hundred fifty-two thousand miles away, Away from your family and friends, Reid, Victor, Christina and Jeremy, Humanities best we can send, Following footsteps from years ago, For fifty years hope she has slept, Now NASA embarkes on another ride, Sweeping away the inept, Major Tom’s spoken to ground control, You signal is clear and its strong, Planet Earth’s blue in the window pane You will be home before long,
