Lyrics:

So far away
Way out beyond

No capsule you could swallow
Could possibly compare
To the one that swallows you
And takes you through the air

Hollow rockets filled with solid fuel
Faster than the Earth can pull
Body of the aether's night
Takes you on your maiden flight!

Michael Guy Bowman: (composer, SoundCloud description)

Another dang commission from my fundraiser. This one, called "Far Away" is a jingle commissioned by Jon Drobny. Original request as follows:

"I was thinking about space exploration - something about being farther away from one's home than anyone's ever been before."
