Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We say  welcome to the mission, show us  all what you can do
 We  need a man with vision, so we  put our trust in you
 And  now we hope sincerely
 That you?ll  do the best that you can  do
 Oh, for  sure it won?t be easy and we?ll  have to risk our
 lives
 Some will try to break us and  cut us down to size
 But  just remember,
 There can be no  consulation prize,  not in our eyes
 It?s a  long  way to  go
 We can?t  wait  one more  day
 We need  some  one to  light  up the  way
 We may  run  out of  time
 Can you  hear  what we  say?
 Because  hea  ven is  so  far  way
 Although  time is getting short there?s still some  sand left
 in the glass
 And  now we have a living, breathing  rocket man at last
 It?s  time to take a step
 And nail our  colours to the mast  -
 No more  talk of great adventures when it?s  movement that we
 need
 It  must be our intentions that we  never lose the lead
 So  count us down to zero
 And  let?s get up to speed, we?re  up and away
 It?s a  long  way to  go
 We can?t  wait  one more  day
 We need  some  one to  light  up the  way
 We may  run  out of  time
 Can you  hear  what we  say?
 Because  hea  ven is  so  far  way
 And so  now they cry for justice, as if  justice will be done
 But the  eye up in the sky was flying  to close to the sun
 The  Challenger has fallen and the  race has now been run. . .
