So long dad I'm on my way
Till I come home
I hope you'll pray
While I'm on Earth I'll think of you
Look down on me and see me through
Up in the sky the morning star
That's where we're bound
it seems so far
From this old town and all my friends
But orders are to bring them in
At the speed of light it won't take long
Feels like you're there before you're gone
Don't worry mom I'll be all right
Not every soldier has to fight
If Mary calls tell her I still
Wish she'd come home
Some day she will
The shuttle's here I'll see you soon
Look up above the little moon
Starship control will let you know
When I'll be back Now I must go
