Verse 1
Senator Kelly had a story to share,
A Thursday in D.C., laughter filled the air,
Arizona Democrat, former astronaut too,
He's been up in orbit, got a tale for you,
Somebody asked him what happens up high,
When nature comes calling in the endless sky.
Chorus
Let it rip in the space suit, baby, it's okay,
It's not what you'd imagine, that's what Kelly'd say,
Floating through the cosmos, weightless and free,
Even astronauts are human, just like you and me,
Let it go, let it fly, up among the stars tonight!
Verse 2
Mark Kelly told us, don't you worry at all,
Passing gas in zero-G isn't such a big call,
You might think you're trapped in a big ol' space jam,
But it's really not a crisis, it's not part of the plan,
The suit keeps on working, the mission stays on track,
Just a cosmic little moment, and you don't look back.
Chorus
Let it rip in the space suit, baby, it's okay,
It's not what you'd imagine, that's what Kelly'd say,
Floating through the cosmos, weightless and free,
Even astronauts are human, just like you and me,
Let it go, let it fly, up among the stars tonight!
Verse 3
They caught up with the Senator walking down the street,
He smiled and kept it real, made the story sweet,
From the halls of Congress to the Milky Way,
Mark Kelly's keeping it honest every single day,
So next time you wonder what it's like up there,
Just know that space explorers let it fill the air.
Bridge
We're all just humans underneath the moon,
Whether on the launchpad or a D.C. afternoon,
Kelly showed the world there's no need to hide,
A little bit of laughter is the best spacewalk guide.
Chorus
Let it rip in the space suit, baby, it's okay,
It's not what you'd imagine, that's what Kelly'd say,
Floating through the cosmos, weightless and free,
Even astronauts are human, just like you and me,
Let it go, let it fly, up among the stars tonight!
