She grew like a flower Now she's pulling up her roots She's trading in those small town shoes for some astronaut boots Her daddy says we'll miss you Just don't forget this place You better send us back a postcard when you hit the Milky Way Now the countdown has begun And its 5 4 3 2 1 She's gonna run into the sun Breakthrough the atmosphere Dance with the stars hang out on mars Light-years away from here She's finding her place up there in space She wont be back here soon No she's not going home Until she leaves Footprints on the moon She's waited for this moment Since she was just a little girl She knows there is something out there for her That's bigger than this world Now she's chasing down those comets She's going to catch them one by one And she'll get to where she's going If she can just hold on She's gonna run into the sun Breakthrough the atmosphere Dance with the stars hang out on mars Light-years away from here She's finding her place up there in space She wont be back here soon No she's not going home Until she leaves Footprints on the moon You've come so far You know who you are Up so high but you can't look down If you fall get up Got to keep your head up now She's gonna run into like the sun Breakthrough the atmosphere Dance with the stars hang out on mars Light-years away from here Finding her place up there in space She wont be back here soon No she's not going home Until she leaves Footprints on the moon Footprints on the moon Ah yeah Footprints on the moon No she's not going home Until she leaves Footprints on the moon
