## Lyrics

**Chorus:**

Where is the brick satellite

Where is the brick satellite

**Narrator:**

The flywheels worked, the ramp was cleared

The Sagitta ripped through the atmosphere

Fired like an arrow to the clouds, suddenly

Catapulting out of this world

It felt like they were standing in a hurricane

Margaret fainted underneath the strain

The radiance dimmed then died, once again

Darkness surrounded the world

**Herschel:**

The bricks are holding fast

**Rose:**

Samuel, we’re flying

**Herschel (counterpoint):**

The structure is secure

**Samuel:**

I’m just happy

That we did not explode

**Herschel (counterpoint):**

We’re still ascending

**Samuel (counterpoint):**

Margaret, are you okay

I don’t know what to say

**Rose (counterpoint):**

Does this make us astronauts

I think I’m seeing spots

**Herschel (counterpoint):**

We must shake gravity’s grip

Or this will be a short trip

**Anna:**

Can someone please explain

Why Margaret glowed

**Narrator:**

They flew into the void

For what felt like a year

The Stratford twins believed that they were dreaming

Because they wanted adventure

And now they were here

On a voyage filled with thrills and lots of screaming

**Narrator, Chorus:**

Where is the brick satellite

**Anna, spoken:**

I still can’t see anything!

**Narrator, Chorus, sung:**

Where is the brick satellite

**Samuel, spoken:**

The windows on the bottom floor! Follow me!

**Narrator, sung:**

His aim was true, even with no light

‘Cause he knew every brick of the satellite

Samuel could have done it with his eyes closed

So he led the way

Down one level, then another they went

Carrying Margaret on their descent

Herschel, Anna, Samuel, and Rose

Made it halfway

**Herschel, spoken:**

Stop! Do you feel that?

**Samuel, spoken:**

Feel what?

**Narrator, sung:**

A weight was lifted

**Anna, Rose, spoken:**

We’re not ascending anymore

**Herschel, spoken:**

Exactly

**Narrator, sung:**

The storm had passed

**Samuel, spoken:**

And we aren’t falling

**Herschel, spoken:**

Do you know what that means?

**Narrator, sung:**

A calm unlike anything they’d ever felt

**Herschel, spoken:**

We’re in orbit

**Anna, spoken:**

We made it

**Chorus, sung:**

Satellite

**Narrator, sung:**

And nobody knew what to say

**Chorus:**

Satellite

**Narrator:**

They felt more alive than ever before

**Chorus:**

Satellite

**Narrator:**

There was light coming from the room below

**Chorus:**

Satellite

**Narrator:**

They approached the window slowly

As if they were about to enter someplace holy

Herschel felt a tear run down his face

What can prepare you to see the earth from space?
