Vostok 1 by The Tourist Company Lyrics

We were sailing away
To land bathed in the sun
We were running a race
But the end may never come

Set adrift into the cold
Set a flight to the unknown

You were faster than I
When you circled ‘round the globe
We were startled awake
By the news you had come home

Set adrift into the cold
Set a flight to the unknown

Vostok, Vostok 1 of ‘61
You won, you captured our hearts

You were sailing away
For the day you may have won
We have made our mistakes
But the race has just begun
