[Intro] What new adventure is on the horizon For Major Tom… As you know… Tom Burns wears many hats. Now student… And still handsome… [Verse 1] Tom’s tired of getting by on his good looks, So he asks his alien colleagues To teach him their ways… And Tom’s doing his best Just to keep up… An important lesson is disrupted By a distant world sending a distress signal… Tom’s going to take the lead on this… They are on the brink of war, And Tom is determined to solve it. [Verse 2] Tom’s companions are perplexed And confused by emotions Like love, fear, and conflict. They are impossible for Tom to describe… So they’re counting on Tom. They need him. His time on Earth Has prepared him for this. Failure is not an option… [Chorus] As Tom takes the helm… It has become apparent… The student has become the teacher. And Tom is on it… [FTL Sequence] Here we go…… Engage FTL drive Fasten your seatbelts Tom says… Hang on… Wow… What a ride… [Verse 3] Traveling at the speed of light Still makes him smile… Tom’s mind blown again… As the spacecraft lands, They observe what appears to be the strife Waiting for them. Tom’s heart feels heavy… As the leaders board the spacecraft, The mood feels very solemn… Something alien to his companions (No pun intended) The tension is thick enough To cut with a laser. [Verse 4] After hours of silence, It becomes crystal clear That communication is the issue. It turns out… For millennia, The method of communication Had become signals and rituals. No one can remember how it started… But somehow, somewhere… Silence had become the law. [Verse 5] Tom looks around the room… He sees that they just need… To talk. Tom cracks his knuckles… Takes a breath… Looks around the room again… And speaks directly to them. [Final Section] For a moment, The room goes silent… Someone speaks. Another responds. And for the first time… They are talking. Tom smiles And recalls a situation He had with his wife… Silence for days. Very confusing for Tom. Meaningful communication Became the bridge to solving the problem. Tom recognizes the pattern… Wink wink. Tom smiles again… He’s still learning. Now he’s teaching. And of course… He’s still handsome. Stay tuned for Tom’s next adventure. [Outro]
