Major Tom
Wolkenfänger und Sternenreiter Lyrics

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
Alone in the spaceship, Major Tom waits for his mission to begin

All systems are go, are you sure?
Is everything ready for launch? Is there any doubt?

Control is not convinced
The mission control team is uncertain about proceeding

But the computer has the evidence
The computer has the data that supports the decision to proceed

No need to abort
There is no reason to cancel the mission

The countdown starts
The sequence for launching the spaceship begins

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
The crew watches intently, fully confident in their preparations

Nothing left to chance, all is working
No room for error, everything is functioning as expected

Trying to relax, up in the capsule
Major Tom attempts to find some relaxation inside the spacecraft

"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
In a lighthearted manner, Major Tom requests a beverage

The count goes on
The countdown continues

4, 3, 2, 1
The final moments before liftoff

Earth below us
Observing the Earth from space

Drifting falling
Moving through space without control

Floating weightless
Experiencing zero gravity

Calling calling home
Yearning or longing to return to Earth

Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
The second phase of the launch is complete, and the spacecraft is now in orbit

Stabilizers up, running perfect
The stabilizers are functioning flawlessly

Starting to collect, requested data
Beginning to gather the specific information that was required

What will it effect, when all is done
What impact or outcome will this have once the mission is completed

Thinks Major Tom
Major Tom ponders this question

Back at ground control, there is a problem
Mission control encounters an issue

Go to rockets full, not responding
Attempt to increase rocket power, but there is no response

Hello Major Tom, are you receiving
Attempting communication with Major Tom

Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
Activate the thrusters, we are ready and waiting

There's no reply
Major Tom does not respond

Across the stratosphere
Traveling across the upper layer of the atmosphere

A final message, "Give my wife my love"
Major Tom sends a final message, expressing his love for his wife

Then nothing more
And then there is no further communication

Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
People on Earth grieve, unaware that Major Tom is still alive

They don't realize, he's alive
The world is unaware that Major Tom is still alive

No one understands but Major Tom sees
Only Major Tom comprehends the situation

Now the light commands, this is my home
Feeling a sense of belonging and purpose in space

I'm coming home
Major Tom is returning to Earth

His destination is home
