[Verse 1]
When the first men saw the ocean
They didn't know what lay before them
They wondered what was on the other side
So they built a mighty vessel
Powered by the wind and muscle
And then they took it out upon the tide

Now it's thousands of years after
Ships are powered by reactors
The globe's been circumnavigated by many brave and proud
And the shores we've left untouched as yet
Are off on other planets
And the waves are also particles somehow

[Chorus]
Well, if space is our new ocean, let me sail the light of the sun
Let me cruise the water beyond the sky
Let me fly into the deep at escape velocity
Let me kiss the good green earth goodbye

[Verse 2]
I should hardly have to mention
How I paid such rapt attention
While my father told me tales at my bedside
Oh I miss those days of glory
Hearing all those famous stories
And Asimov and Clarke became my guides

Now I'm getting older
But those adventures don't grow colder
I made them my example and now I've built myself a dream
A ship to carry me away
Just like those first men in their day
So I can see what's out there to be seen

[Chorus]
And if space is our new ocean, let me sail the light of the sun
Let me cruise the water beyond the sky
Let me fly into the deep at escape velocity
Let me kiss the good green earth goodbye

[Bridge]
I'm heading off into the black
Don't know when I'm coming back
But the universe is too big not to go
I need to get myself away
Don't forget me 'cause someday
I'll need your love to guide me here back home

[Chorus]
So with space as my new ocean, I will sail the light of the sun
Gonna cruise that water beyond the sky
I'm heading off into the deep at escape velocity
Let me kiss the good green earth goodbye

Let me kiss the good green earth goodbye

Let me kiss the good green Earth goodbye

[Outro]
