Commander Hadfield (singing): Ground control to major Tom

Ground control to major Tom

Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on

Ground control to major Tom

Commencing countdown, engines on

Detach from Station, and may God's love be with you

(piano playing)

(music swells)

This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

But it's time to guide the capsule if you da-a-a-are

This is major Tom to ground control, I've left forever more,

and I'm floating in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different toda-a-a-ay

For here am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing left to do

(acoustic guitar riff)

(music swells)

Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And before too long I know it's time to go

Our Commander comes down back to earth and knows

Ground control to major Tom,

The time is near, there's not too long

Can you hear me, major Tom?

Can you hear me, major Tom?

Can you hear me, major Tom?

Can you...

Here am I floating in my tin can

Last glimpse of the world

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing left to do

(acoustic guitar riffs)

(instrumental)
