(Okay and you've got about 10 minutes left before we'll have to leave)
It's gotten pretty quiet without a copilot
I guess I've got some time alone
They've got their own planets, houses made of granite
I guess I better find a home
I'll be okay
Hands are empty
I'll be alright
I'll find you sometime
The view from here is a sight to behold
And you know
I could use some time to see things on my own
And I don't even know my current coordinates
No one left to dance with up here in this lonely satellite
And all the blinking lights
It's gotten pretty quiet without a copilot
I guess I've got some time alone
They've got their own planets, houses made of granite
I guess I better find a home
I'll be okay
Hands are empty
I'll be alright
I'll find you sometime

Of some kind of thought and feeling is just
As important as bringing another chunk of rock back)
Take all of those sparks
(And, not being a machine but being a human being you have to stop and say
"Do you know where you are and what you're looking at?"
And try and take in - in those few moments of privacy you have
Everything there is to take in, in that moment)
(Okay Houston, as I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown at Hadley
I realize there is a fundamental truth to our nature: Man must explore)
