It Hurts to Say Goodbye

He gave away the last of his things
He wonders what the future will bring
He leaves tonight
To make a better life

He can't believe he's come this far
They chose him to populate the stars
It's all a blur
An interstellar passenger

This rocket ship is taking off
Said his goodbyes to sail across
The universe

He tries to ignore his doubts
But he can only think about
What he leaves behind
They say he'll help mankind
But it hurts to say goodbye

Nah naah na
Nah nah na naaa
Nah naah na
Nah na na na na

Thrusters burn and he feels the force
Controls his breath and double checks his course
It's the only way
And we're all counting on him today

Twelve kilometers per second he'll go
Into the Thermosphere is his first goal
Soon he'll be there
For seven years he's prepared

This rocket ship is taking off
Said his goodbyes to sail across
The universe

He tries to ignore his doubts
But he can only think about
What he leaves behind
They say he'll help mankind
But it hurts to say goodbye

Nah naah na
Nah nah na naaa
Nah naah na
Nah na na na na

Taped to his console
A recent photo of her
She was a blessing
He won't forget how they were
And that's why this hurts

This rocket ship is taking off
Said his goodbyes to sail across
The universe

He tries to ignore his doubts
But he can only think about
What he leaves behind
They say he'll help mankind
But it hurts to say goodbye

Tonight he had a galactic dream
But he was miles away from home
On a mission to save the world
And preserve the human genome
