The Launch Lyrics


All of his life he has dreamt of this moment

 Through all the blood and the work and the sweat

 Focused or blinkered just so single minded

 Nothing could stop him when his course was set

 To conquer each fear and to push every boundary

 Never accepting the limits they set

 What doesn't kill you can make you feel stronger

 What makes you stronger gets you through each test

 Oh, god speed to you

 Oh, god speed to you

 He looks to heaven and feels it surround him

 Unknown unknowable foreverness

 What lies at the end of this historic journey

 No one can know you just take your best guess

 Each thing he faces just seems so uncertain

 He is strapped in for the ride of his life

 Life in the hands of a hundred computers

 12 million horsepower rocket to ride

 Oh, God speed to you

 Oh, God speed to you

 To conquer each fear and to push every boundary

 Never accepting the limits they set

 What doesn't kill you can make you feel stronger

 What makes you stronger gets you through each test

 Oh, god speed to you

 Oh, god speed to you
