"We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth."

I guess it does. But it's not the kind of melody I'd choose for it. 

I hope your music for it was a bit more ... shall we say, serious ...
perhaps with a touch of the heroic ... and a lot less jingle-y. :-)
