Lyrics
Home Again
©2005 by Marla Lewis
My name is Captain Galaxy
This spaceship has been home to me
For what seems like an eternity
How I wish I were home again
I’ve sailed through trails of shooting stars
Seen mountains on Venus, volcanoes on Mars
But every page of my memoir
Says, “I wish I were home again!”
(CHORUS)
Wish I were home (HOME SWEET HOME)
Wish I were home again
Wish I were home (HOME SWEET HOME)
Wish I were home again
The stars like Christmas shine so bright
I fly through a vacuum that’s blacker than night
Travelin’ at the speed of light
But I wish I were home again!
At 0:500 I will land
On a planet that’s never seen woman or man
I’ll analyze the rocks and sand
But I wish I were home again
CHORUS
Gravity – a distant memory
I float around, when I’m not strapped down!
Workday ends – I miss my family and friends
I miss the sun and the deep blue sky
And New York City and Apple Pie
LOOK! Who’s that on my TV screen?
It’s the President! And she’s beaming at me!
She says, “Your mission’s now complete
And it’s time to come home again!
“So turn back toward the Milky Way!
Full speed ahead, Captain! Don’t delay!
You’ll touch down by Saturday
And we’ll welcome you home again.”
Soon I’ll be home (HOME SWEET HOME)
Soon I’ll be home again
Can ‘t wait to be home (HOME SWEET HOME)
Soon I’ll be home again!
