Out in space there's no human race
And I can see so clearly
It's the only place that I can be free
I wanna be a rocket man
Out in the stars there's no claim on me
And I can be who I wanna be
With no chains binding me
I wanna be a rocket man
Tethered to earth by violent gravity
It holds me here unwillingly
Tying me down forcefully
I dream one day that I'll break free
From these bonds that incessantly hold me
From my journey through the cosmic sea
I pray one day that I will be free
And I will be a rocket man
