Mission
(Based on Space Oddity by David Bowie)
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Ground Control to Major Tom.
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on.
Watching safely from a distance’s
never been my cup of tea,
so I climbed into a tin can
and may God’s love be with me,
counting down in my head,
check ignition, engine’s on,
like Buzz Aldrin and Gagarin
nothing ventured, nothing won,
just like Major Tom I’m hopin’
ground control can get me home,
even when I lose my way,
spaceship knows which way to go.
