Pushed back in my seat,

That ball of shiny blue,

Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

Fueled by science and solar power,
The ocean's racing past.

At half a thousand tons,
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
A bullet can't go half as fast.

Floating from my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home (There goes home).
That brilliant ball of blue,
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.

Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).

What once was fueled by fear,
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
