Count Down To Lift Off

Count Down To Lift Off

Ten here we go again
Nine one last time
Eight it's hard to hate
Seven this ship to heaven
Six it's not easy to fix
Five but I will survive
Four to soar
Three above every tree
Two like so few
One have done

Lift Off
fire and smoke and thunder shoot me toward the stars
faster than sound I travel past the clouds over the mountains
hello Space goodbye Earth I will see you again someday but for now
I am headed to a destiny unknown!
