You said you wanted some space

Well is this enough for you?

This is what you've waited for

No dust collecting in the corners

No cups of tea that got cold before you drank them

Tonight

Travelling at the speed of thought

We're going to escape into the stars

It doesn't matter if the lifts are out of order

Or the car won't start

We're rising up

Above the city

Over forests

Over fields

Rivers and lakes

Into the clouds

And up above us

The whole universe is shining a welcome

Did you ever really think this day would happen

After days trying to sell washing-machines on your own?

It looked like we never left the ground

But we're weightless

Floating free

We can go wherever we want

Solar systems

Constellations

Galaxies

I'll race you to the nearest planet

How many times have you wished upon a star?

Now you can touch it

You can touch the stars

Go on

Don't be afraid

"I only wanted some space"

Well is this enough for you?

Is it?

Well the stars are bright

But they don't give out any heat

The planets

Are lumps of rock

Floating in a vacuum

Yeah, space is cold

When you're on your own

I think it's time to go home

Pulling my strings

Like a kite that flew too high

And now it's time to come down

Look out below

Wait `til I get back

You can see something

You can see space

But now I know

It's O.K.

Space is O.K.

But I'd rather

I'd rather get my

I'd rather get my kicks down below

Oh yeah

Come on
