متن ترانه به انگلیسی

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting All systems are go, are you sure? Control is not convinced But the computer has the evidence No need to abort
The countdown starts
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain Nothing left to chance, all is working Trying to relax, up in the capsule "Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom The count goes on
Four, three, two, one Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating, weightless Calling, calling home
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit Stabilizers up, running perfect Starting to collect requested data "What will it effect, when all is done?" Thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control there is a problem Go to rockets full, not responding "Hello Major Tom, are you receiving? Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by" There's no reply
Four, three, two, one Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating, weightless Calling, calling home
Across the stratosphere A final message, "Give my wife my love" Then nothing more
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning They don't realize, he's alive No one understands but Major Tom sees Now the light commands, this is my home I'm coming home
Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating, weightless Coming home
Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating, weightless Coming home
Earth below us Drifting, falling Floating, weightless Coming, coming home
Home Home Home Home Home Home Home Home
