Rocket Man
Lost in time and lost in space
Separated from the human race
It gets so hard to breath up here
Orbiting through this atmosphere
I did not truly understand
What all was involved with Rocket Man
The World below is just a globe
Staring time away out this lone port hole
I miss my family I miss my friends
The normality in which I once lived
But space and science called out my name
Now here I am as Rocket Man
I wonder do they remember me
Am I the falling star that used to be
Moving out beyond in bounds and leaps
No more now than a distant memory
This new frontier, this no man's land
Never to come down again
This certainty wasn't in my plan
This lonely orbit as Rocket Man
