Where astronauts and gravity have G/Bopened up the atmosphere
We'll be so safe up hereAm, navigating the space
We'll create our own Fstar, I'll name it after you
CWe'll be so calm up there, fly around the quiet air
The G/Bsun will pull us round again, inhaling and orbitingAm  
Our great planet will fit on the tip of your thuFmb
You'll say I've finally see how Ctime stops
And everything that hurtG/Bs us drops off
