Chris Hadfield - I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing?) lyrics

On solid fuel and wires Turn the key and light the fires We're leaving Earth today This rocket's burning bright We'll soon be out of sight And orbiting in space Pushed back in my seat Look out my window: there goes home That ball of shiny blue Houses everybody anybody ever knew CHORUS: So sing your song, I'm listening Out where stars are glistening I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon If you could see our nations From the International Space Station You'd know why I'd want to get back soon Eighteen thousand miles an hour Fuelled by science and solar power The oceans racing past At half a thousand tons Ninety minutes Moon to Sun A bullet can't go half this fast Floating from my seat Look out my window: there goes home That brilliant ball of blue It's where I'm from, it's also where I'm going to (CHORUS) All black and white just fades to grey Where the sun rises sixteen times a day You can't make out borders from up here Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere Pushed back in my seat Look out my window: here comes home What once was fuelled by fear Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here So sing your song, I'm listening Out where stars are glistening I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon If you could see our nations From the International Space Station You'd know why I'd want to get back soon You'd know why I'd want to get back soon You'd know why I'd want to get back soon
