We say  Dwelcome to the mission, show us  Call what you can do
We  Bmneed a man with vision, so we  Gput our trust in you
And  Dnow we hope sincerely
That you?ll  Cdo the best that you can  Ddo  Dsus  
Oh, for  Dsure it won?t be easy and we?ll  Chave to risk our
lives
 BmSome will try to break us and  Gcut us down to size
But  Djust remember,
There can be no  Cconsulation prize,  Dnot in our eyes   Dsus  
It?s a  Clong  Gway to  Dgo
We can?t  Cwait   Gone more  Dday
We need  Csome  Gone to  Clight  Gup the  Dway
We may  Crun  Gout of  Dtime
Can you  Chear  Gwhat we  Dsay?
Because [C] hea [G] ven is [C] so [G] far  A[D] way  [Dsus]
Although  Dtime is getting short there?s still some  Csand left
in the glass
And  Bmnow we have a living, breathing  Grocket man at last
It?s  Dtime to take a step
And nail our  Ccolours to the mast   D- Dsus  
No more  Dtalk of great adventures when it?s  Cmovement that we
need
It  Bmmust be our intentions that we  Gnever lose the lead
So  Dcount us down to zero
And  Clet?s get up to speed, we?re  Dup and away  Dsus  
It?s a  Clong  Gway to  Dgo
We can?t  Cwait   Gone more  Dday
We need  Csome  Gone to  Clight  Gup the  Dway
We may  Crun  Gout of  Dtime
Can you  Chear  Gwhat we  Dsay?
Because [C] hea [G] ven is [C] so [G] far  A[D] way  [Dsus]
[C] - [G] - [D]   [C] - [G] - [D]   [C] - [G] - [C] - [G]   [D] -
[Dsus] -[D] - [Dsus]
And so  Dnow they cry for justice, as if  Cjustice will be done
But the  Bmeye up in the sky was flying  Gto close to the sun
The  DChallenger has fallen and the  Crace has now been run. . .
