All of his life he has dreamt of this moment 
Through all the blood and the work and the sweat 
Focused or blinkered just so single minded 
nothing could stop him when his course was set 

To conquer each fear and to push every boundary 
Never accepting the limits they set 
What doesn't kill you can make you feel stronger 
What makes you stronger gets you through each test 

Oh, god speed to you 

He looks to heaven and feels it surround him 
Unknown unknowable foreverness 
What lies at the end of this historic journey 
No one can know you just take your best guess 

Each thing he faces just seems so uncertain 
He is strapped in for the ride of his life 
Life in the hands of a hundred computers 
12 million horsepower rocket to ride 

Oh, God speed to you
