[Verse 1] Ground Control, the lights are fading, I can see the world below. London looks so very tiny, Like a photograph of home. You keep asking for my status, You keep telling me to turn. But I’ve crossed the final distance, There is nowhere to return. [Chorus] Ground Control, this is Major Tom, I don’t need another warning. I’ve made peace with where I am, And I won’t be coming home this morning. Let the signal slowly fade, Let the little blue world spin. I’ve said everything I needed to say. Don’t call me back again. [Verse 2] I remember rain on windows, I remember children’s eyes. Funny thing about forever, Nobody tells you why. So switch off all the monitors, Put the coffee on the shelf. Tell my mother I was smiling. Tell her I became myself. [Final Chorus] Ground Control, this is Major Tom, Can you hear me through the silence? There is nothing left to fear now, There is beauty in the distance. Let the Earth become a star. I was born beneath your weather, But I was never meant to stay where you are. [Outro] Ground Control… Major Tom calling… Don’t answer. Just let me go. Goodnight, Earth.
