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
