On my voyage to Mars
Past the stars
For you
In cosmic bazaars
And quasars
I'll find you there
All systems check on launch pad
Pressurized module propulsion guidance and telemetry
Gyros Ignition takeoff
Thrust and throttle reaching escape velocity at supersonic speed
Coordinates of transponder comm data into the radio spectrum
Receiving signals from my reconnaissance sensor probes
On my voyage to Mars
Past the stars
For you!
Into cosmic bazaars
And quasars
I'll find you there!
Traversing the universe in my space capsule
Into the gravitational vortex waves of the red planet;
The Doppler shift and parallax;
My vector trajectory to establish orbit
Then down in angle of descent
Igniting afterburners for touchdown on the LZ
To make contact with you in the northern quadrant
