In the Bowie-inspired track "Major Tom," Lizcano explores what might have happened to Major Tom once he lost contact with ground control.
lyrics
With eyes wide open looking out into this strange world,
Cosmic winds are blowing in our strange world,
It’s been so long since we have seen your face,
It’s been so long since you got lost in outer space,
Oh, Major Tom, where are you now?
Is it lonely up there?
Are you hungry? Are you scared?
And tell me, do the stars look different today?
It’s been so long since we have seen your face,
It’s been so long since you got lost in outer space,
Oh, Major Tom, where are you now?
Is it really so strange to send our hopes up to the sky?
When we pray and when we love and when we wish upon a star?
Is it really so strange to think you might still be alive?
I hope you are, I hope you are, I hope you are…
Is it really so strange to send our hopes up to the sky?
When we pray and when we love and when we wish upon a star?
Is it really so strange to think you might still be alive?
I hope you are, I hope you are, I hope you are,
I hope you are, I hope you are, I hope you are,
I hope you are, I hope you are, I hope you are…
