Hundred Million Miles from Home Written by Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube You can't help but be who you are Your feet on the ground Your head in the stars And I can't help but love who I love You're still on my mind In the heavens above And I've got my hands on the wheel of my rocket mobile And I'm a hundred million miles from home My head's in the stars on a Mission to Mars And I'm a hundred million miles from home A hundred million miles from home And I've got to get a message to you I can't change the things that I've done The hearts I might have broken The races I've won And now it's all about the road that I'm on My eyes on The Mission My troubles be gone 'Cause I got my hands on the wheel of my rocket mobile And I'm a hundred million miles from home My head's in the stars on a Mission to Mars And I'm a hundred million miles from home A hundred mi...

Locomotive

L ocomotive Written by Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube Locomotive, tell me where you are Now that you've become the distant star Did you lose your faith where you belonged? Did you hide from those who you did love? Have you read the messages I've tried to send? Will you ever come back home again? Castles by the sea you made from sand Hovercrafts and drones you built by hand (built by hand) Forever fearless asking why and how Locomotive, just look at you now (look at you now) No one else on Earth has ever been so far Locomotive, tell me where you are (where you are) And when that road calls your name Doesn't matter what's to gain - It's in your blood Staring up into the starry night One of them must surely be your light Ah Locomotive, you're fading into the rising sun And who am I to say that you're the lucky one? (you're the lucky one)

Radio Silence Written by  Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich, Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube Clear blue skies above And all I feel is love In this dream Sand, water The earth beneath my feet I feel complete I wake to darkness Remembering the fear I'm really here So far away Lost, helpless Were words I'd never say Until this day Yeah, yeah All I get is Radio silence (so lonely) No communication Radio silence Anybody, can you hear me? I need a little mercy It's gonna take a little faith to see The Mission It all comes down to me Full engines on Separated from the mother ship Retro rockets fired This is real Hypergolic fumes Hyperbolic tunes It's a symphony of fear But I'm still here Yeah, yeah All I get is Radio silence (so lonely) No communication Radio silence Anybody, can you hear me? I need a little mercy It's gonna take a little faith to see The Mission It all comes down to me And only me S.O...

Time may bend But it hasn't yet for me Some live their dreams Some push them away But we made it here Tempting our fate Time may bend But not enough for me Calling out to the universe Shine your light on me The future of Mother Earth Shine on, shine on You're a mystery, open up to me Shine, shine on me Calling out to the universe Shine your light on me The future of Mother Earth Shine on, shine on You're a mystery, open up to me Shine, shine on me

The Greater Good

The Greater Good Written by  Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich, Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan and Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube First Officer (Lawrence Gowan): You could lay down, in this hole you dug Just fade away into the red sand But we all know, it's not who you are You've come too far to be stranded on this star But we're not here to take a prize You know, just open up your eyes The things that got us here have little weight Perhaps a chance to be a man You dream to be, you know you can Come on, suit up and we won't let you fail For the greater good For the greater good For the greater good For the greater good Locomotive (Tommy Shaw): I hear what you're saying You know that I do But this is so much bigger than anyone imagined - Can't you see?

Ten Thousand Ways Written by  Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan Vocals by Styx Listen on YouTube Oooo, ten thousand ways to be wrong Ten thousand ways to be wrong Oooo, ten thousand ways to be wrong Red Storm Written by Tommy Shaw, Will Evankovich Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube You know I never asked for this Always knew there was a risk Should have been easy Storm is closing in I can feel the grinding wind The panic has calmed me now Study and train for a worst-case scenario day When clear thought and reason get tossed out and lost in the fray Now the red storm is closing in We can do this, let it begin Everybody keep your head Remember what we learned and read Oh, we gotta get through this Carry what you can There's no turning back Gonna make it to the mothership Strap yourselves in, let the monstrous wind have its way Only one way to go, when you can't fight the blows of the day Now the red storm is closing in If we make it, we'll be saved ...

Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars Written by Tommy Shaw Now I can say in less than a day We'll be underway on our Mission to Mars Theoretical themes, radical schemes Chasing our dreams on our Mission to Mars Tomorrow we'll say that this is the day We'll be on our way on the Mission to Mars Say goodbye to all your friends Now a whole new life begins As the universe's mysteries unfold And the audience back home is holding on With bated breath To hear the stories that are waiting to be told Now I can say that this is the day We'll be on our way on our Mission to Mars Theoretical themes, radical schemes Chasing our dreams on our Mission to Mars Astrophysical plans, political sands It's all in our hands on our Mission to Mars Sparks and quarks, they glow in the dark They'll someday remark as a walk in the park This Mission to Mars Now I can say this is the day We'll be on our way on the Mission to Mars Now I can say that this is the day We'll be on ...
