Launched into the world
We find our way
To friends of affinity
Rocketed from our pad
We make a claim
To our best ability
Blasted into orbit
We shoot the moon
To improve humanity
Thrust in the Eagle
We left him back
To Sea of Tranquility
Boosted from its base
We watch and wait
To so much uncertainty
Splashed Columbia
We realized
To him, we were always three
