dawn comes and you're up
                               you drink a fast cup
                               don't keep them waiting
                               all systems are go
                               far down below
                               morning is breaking

                               and you're ready
                               you know the routine
                               you suit up and
                               you board your machine
                               as all over the world
                               eyes are glued
                               to the video screen

                               there's a hole in the clouds
                               when you look up tonight
                               a window that beckons you
                               toward the moonlight
                               the tower counts down
                               and the moment is right
                               you take a deep breath
                               but you're chest still goes tight
                               alone
                               at the top of the world

                               day turns into night
                               turns back to day
                               twice on the hour

                               but you're far from it now
                               light-years away
                               thin stream of power

                               rumbling under your feet
                               eagle leaps up from the concrete
                               as the lines fly away
                               as the pad crumbles under the heat

                               there's a hole in the clouds
                               when you look up tonight
                               a window that beckons you
                               toward the moonlight
                               the tower counts down
                               and the moment is right
                               you take a deep breath
                               but you're chest still goes tight
                               alone
                               at the top of the world

                               (hole in the cloud)
                               (window that beckons you)

                               there's a hole in the clouds
                               when you look up tonight
                               a window that beckons you
                               toward the moonlight
                               the tower counts down
                               and the moment is right
                               you take a deep breath
                               but you're chest still goes tight
                               alone
                               at the top of the world
