Hayabusa 2 Lyrics

Oh, Hayabusa launched away

Away Hayabusa

The second Japanese craft built this way

To an asteroid called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu

We only want a tiny scoop

Away Hayabusa

From a diamond-shaped rock in the Apollo group

The asteroid called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu

Moving round the Sun with an ion thrust

Away Hayabusa

A copper slug breaks the outer crust

Of an asteroid called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu

Carried four hoppers in its payload bay

Away Hayabusa

The gravity's weak but they won't float away

From an asteroid called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu

Left the surface with a thruster burn

Away Hayabusa

Swung by Earth for the sample return

Of the asteroid called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu

Its mission got extended out to 2031

Away Hayabusa

Another space rock will feel its copper slug gun

Not just the one called Ryugu

Well take some dirt back to Earth so blue

Away Hayabusa

Regolith for science breakthrough

From an asteroid called Ryugu
