I try to call the Earth's command, Desperation in my voice. I'm drifting way off course now With very little choice. The loneliness is hard to bear, I try to calm my fear. Just hoping, any second now, Some contact filters through. Desperate calls Signal back from Satellite As my life flashes Right in front of me. Try again, must get through. Hear me now For I've very little time. Not much time, hear my call. Please get through, I am here. I'm stranded in space, I'm lost with a trace. I haven't a chance of getting away. Too close to the Sun, I surely will burn Like Icarus before me, Or so legend goes. I think of my life, Reliving my past. There's nothing but wait 'Til my time comes. I've had a good life, I'd do it again. Maybe I'll come back Some time afresh. For I have lived my life to the full, I have no regrets. But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them one last goodbye. The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier If I could survive To live one more time I wouldn't be changing A thing at all. Done more in my life Than some do in ten, I'd go back and do it All over again. For I have lived my life to the full, I have no regrets. But I wish I could talk to my family And tell them that one last goodbye. The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier There isn't much time, Must say my last rites. Nobody is here to Read them to me. Must say my goodbyes, If only a line, A message to tell them In case they might find For I have lived my life to the full, I have no regrets. But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them that one last goodbye. The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier
