I read the Times this morning
You made it to page one
The space you once explored in
Is now your final home
And I know
How you used to be
I know
How you felt so free
And I know
You're still a part of me, somehow
You took a chance, paid a price
Blasting off into the void
You needed to grow up, so you moved on
You could have stayed, chose to leave
Found your home, deep in space
I hear your words, they echo, one by one
I'm falling
There are many here among us
Who've wished upon a star
But you were more than dreaming
That's how you got so far
And I know
How you used to be
I know
How you felt so free
And I know
You're still a part of me, somehow
You took a chance, paid a price
Blasting off into the void
You needed to grow up, so you moved on
You could have stayed, chose to leave
Found your home, deep in space
I hear your words, they echo, one by one
I'm falling
Now life on earth is changing
We're grasping to hang on
And as the world was crumbling
You were bouncing on the moon
And I know
How you used to be
I know
How you felt so free
And I know
You're still a part of me, somehow
You took a chance, paid a price
Blasting off into the void
You needed to grow up, so you moved on
You could have stayed, chose to leave
Found your home, deep in space
I hear your words, they echo, one by one
I'm falling
