1983
She flew up up up in the galaxy
She went down down down in history
She was America's first space lady
Always one of the guys
She flew that rocket into the sky
She needed space, needed to get high
Needed to see this place from another side
Ride Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket to the other side
We're looking up at you and you're burning bright
And the trail you blaze is a beacon light
Ride Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket you were born to fly
The ones who'd hold you down are getting smaller now
They might be supermen but you are kryptonite
80s culture was weighing her down
Stuck in the closet here she needed to get out
A little liftoff let her find herself
In zero gravity where she could just space out
Smaller and smaller was the current trend
But as the hemlines rose, she suited up instead
To see a bigger view, to get out of her head
To put some space between her and all of it
Ride Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket to the other side
We're looking up at you and you're burning bright
And the trail you blaze is a beacon light
Ride Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket you were born to fly
The ones who'd hold you down are getting smaller now
They might be supermen but you are kryptonite
As she floated up on high
She looked down and saw with her own two eyes
This tiny ball of blue was not all there was to see
She looked around from star to star and was struck by the magnitude
That as a woman she had come this far
She was the first to see this view
She slowly reached her arm out and placed her palm over the dot of blue
She was bigger than it from up here
She was bigger than him
She was bigger than them
She was bigger than her fear
She was at home in her skin way up here
And as she floated the feeling was queer
But something from within had never been more crystal clear
Everybody down there thought they knew who they were and why
But nobody had seen it from the sky
Ride Sally Ride...
In a blaze of glory
She made herstory
In the atmosphere as she came down
She made a ripple that was so profound
They didn't feel it then; it didn't make a sound
But it's growing louder now
She felt the space above she'd left behind
She felt a new space she now occupied
And as her feet re-found the ground, she had this thought:
Well, I'm here and I'm queer and I'll persevere.
Ride Sally Ride....
Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket to the other side
We're looking up at you and you're burning bright
And the trail you blaze is a beacon light
Ride Sally, ride ride Sally, ride that rocket you were born to fly
The ones who'd hold you down are getting smaller now
They might be supermen but you are kryptonite
