Lyrics

A little boy, a book, and a rainy day
A foreign name on a map that seems a world away
A Russian stamp on a letter never written
To Mister Yuri Gagarin of a thousand stars
I chose my own, but I'm scared to fly
I only love the sky
When it's grey enough not to seem so high
I dreamt of rockets rising sharp as silver knives
Above the clouds in search of a different life
Woke up recalling a kopek's worth of silly dreams
Me and my white suit made of stardust and moonbeams
I'm old enough to guess a trap
A delusion or a lie
Yet young enough to remember how I cried
Let us fly to the moon
Let us fly, wings alight, destination: unknown
Yuri smiled for me and I was alone
Standing on the tarmac and he waved
Ba-ba-ba-ba, let us fly
High
Let us fly
High
Let us fly
The little boy then grew, the picture book got lost
And when the rain stopped, yet another route got crossed
Carried the child and his hero to a distant land
Of Delta kisses where gods have no place to stand
I'm old enough to guess a trap
A delusion or a lie
Yet young enough to remember how I cried
Let us fly to the moon
Let us fly, wings alight, destination: unknown
Yuri smiled for me and I was alone
Standing on the tarmac and he waved
Ba-ba-ba-ba, let us fly
Get on board and take a seat on the stage
Close your eyes and let the numbers take over
Five, four, three, two, one and go
Your heart has stopped beating, the blood still flows
Swifter than ever as the engines roar
Let us fly to the moon
Let us fly, wings alight, destination: unknown
Yuri smiled for me and I was alone
Standing on the tarmac and he waved
Ba-ba-ba-ba, let us fly to the moon
Let us fly, wings alight, destination: unknown
Yuri smiled for me and I was alone
Standing on the tarmac and he waved
Ba-ba-ba-ba, let us fly
