[English]

93 million miles from the sun

People get ready, get ready

'Cause here it comes, it's a light

A beautiful light, over the horizon into our eyes

Oh, my, my how beautiful

Oh, my beautiful mother

She told me, son in life you're gonna go far

If you do it right you'll love where you are

Just know

Wherever you go

You can always come home

...

240 thousand miles from the moon

We've come a long way to belong here

To share this view of the night, a glorious night

Over the horizon is another bright sky

Oh, my, my, how beautiful

Oh, my irrefutable father

He told me, son sometimes it may seem dark

But the absence of the light is a necessary part

Just know

You're never alone

You can always come back home

...

Home, home

You can always come back

...

Every road is a slippery slope

There is always a hand that you can hold on to

Looking deeper through the telescope

You can see that your home's inside of you

Just know

That wherever you go

No, you're never alone

You will always get back home

...

Home, home

Home, home, home

...

93 million miles from the Sun

People get ready, get ready

'Cause here it comes it's a light, a beautiful light

Over the horizon into our eyes

...
