Du har stått vid horisonten Du har tittat mot havet om jorden var rund Men allt du såg var en båt som försvann I dimman som rullade fram Jag är inte rädd att flyga, jag För ovanför molnen står himlen på glänt Som jorden och månen vi dras till varann Men håll mig så hårt som du kan Jag känner mig som en satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit högt upp i det blå Som en satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit nu kan jag förstå Oh, vad världen är liten ändå högt i det blå Vi har gått omkring på jorden Vi har dragit vår frihet på släp överallt Och solen har värmt oss, men när den går ner Behöver jag värmen du ger Jag känner mig som en satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit högt upp i det blå Som en satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit nu kan jag förstå Oh, vad världen är liten ändå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit högt upp i det blå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit nu kan jag förstå Oh, vad världen är liten ändå högt i det blå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit högt upp i det blå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit nu kan jag förstå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit högt upp i det blå Satellit, satellit, ooh Som en satellit nu kan jag förstå
