But just 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 colors to the mast

No more talk of great adventures
When it's movement that we need
It must be our intention
That we never lose 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 too close to the sun
The Challenger has fallen
And the race has now been run
