I'm clumsy here on earth

And not winning any pageants,

But by the time I get to your planet,

Weightlessness has done its perfect work on me.

I'm blithe, carefree, strong and sure

As a ballerina.

I move with grace and beauty 

Here, without gravity to bother me.

And the sweet effect your smile has on my heart,

My spirit bounds and leaps just like a hind.

I'm high on a mountain,

And my mountain goat feet are perfect here,

Where Love makes me beautiful.

And even when I return to earth,

The world will see the new and better me,

And finally I will know myself

Even as I am known,

As a graceful, gracious, cosmic astronaut.
