So Far Away Lyrics

(bairnson)

 

 We say welcome to the mission

 Show us all what you can do

 We need a man with vision

 So we put our trust in you

 And now we hope sincerely

 That you'll do the best that you can do

 

 Oh for sure it won't be easy

 And we will have to risk our lives

 Some will try to break us

 And cut us down to size

 But jsut remember

 There can be no consolation prize

 Not in our eyes

 

 It's a long way to go

 We can't wait one more day

 We need someone to light up the way

 We may run out of time

 Can you hear what we say?

 Because heaven is so far away

 

 Although time is getting short

 There's still some sand left in the glass

 And now we have a living breathing

 Rocket man at last

 It's time to take a step

 And nail our colours to the mast

 

 No more talk of great adventures

 When it's movement that we need

 It must be our intention

 That we never loose the lead

 So count us down to zero

 And let's get up to speed

 We're up and away

 

 It's a long way to go

 We can't wait one more day

 We need someone to light up the way

 We may run out of time

 So believe what we say?

 Because heaven is so far away

 

 And so now they cry for justice

 As if justice will be done

 But the eye up in the sky

 Was flying to close to the sun

 The challenger has fallen

 And the race has now been run....
