Astronaut- Upside Down

I drift alone in the endless space No hope, no rescue, no escape My tether snapped, my station gone I face the void with silent calm

My oxygen is running low I know this is the final show But I don't cry, I don't despair I gaze in awe at what is there

The Earth, the Moon, the stars so bright They fill my eyes with pure delight A cosmic dance of light and shade A spectacle for which I paid

I don't regret the choice I made To be an astronaut and brave The unknown realms beyond the sky And see the world with different eyes

I smile and whisper my goodbye I close my eyes and wait to die I drift alone in the endless space But I die happy and in grace
