[Verse 1]
Dm C Am
In a tower of flame in Capsule 12,
Dm Am Dm
I was there
F Dm C
I know not where they laid my bones -
Dm Am Dm
It could be anywhere
F C
But when fire and smoke had faded,
Dm C Em
the darkness left my sight
Am G E
And I found my soul in a spaceship's hull,
Am G Am
riding home on a trail of light...
[Chorus]
Am C G
And my wings are made of tungsten,
E Am
my flesh of glass and steel,
C G
I am the joy of Terra for the
D C Em
power that I wield!
Am C G E
Once upon a lifetime, I died a pioneer,
Am G Em
Now I sing within a spaceship's heart -
Am G Am
Does anybody hear?
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Before each morning's launch,
Am Dm Am Dm
they know that I am there
F C Am
To the soul that warms this vessel's hull,
Dm Am Dm
they say a silent prayer
F C
I am father, ship, and spirit,
Dm C Em
of the dream for which they strive,
Am G E
For I am man at the hands of man,
Am G Am
see us rocket for the sky!
[Chorus]
Am C G
And my wings are made of tungsten,
E Am
my flesh of glass and steel,
C G
I am the joy of Terra for the
D C Em
power that I wield!
Am C G E
Once upon a lifetime, I died a pioneer,
Am G Em
Now I sing within a spaceship's heart -
Am G Am
Does anybody hear?
[Verse 3]
Dm C Am
My thunder rends the morning skies;
Dm Am Dm
yes, I am here
F C Am
Though lost to flame when I was man,
Dm Am Dm
now I ride her without fear,
F C
For I am more than man now,
Dm C Em
and man built me with pride,
Am G E
I led the way, and I lead the way,
Am G Am
of man's future in the sky...
[Chorus]
Am C G
And my wings are made of tungsten,
E Am
my flesh of glass and steel,
C G
I am the joy of Terra for the
D C Em
power that I wield!
Am C G E
Once upon a lifetime, I died a pioneer,
Am G Em
Now I sing within a spaceship's heart -
Am G Am
Does anybody hear?
