Bracing For Blastoff

Third rock from the sun
Swirling through space
Strap in for the ride
Circling as carrying the human race

Neatly nestled in the solar system
Subtly situated intergalactically
Calmly connected to everything
Floating through time romantically

Revolving around the sun
Orbit on a predetermined route
However our trajectory not set in stone
We have autonomy to plan our path of pursuit

Starts with surrounding yourself
In a safe and supportive universe
Stacked up with a stellar cast
Simply sustaining your worth

Flexibility now afforded to experiment
Galaxy is yours to endlessly explore
Opportunities of cosmic proportions
As you now have the keys to unlock any door

Your rocket ship is ready for takeoff
No dream you have will be too bizarre
World is awaiting your ascent through the atmosphere
You're free to live your life as a shining star
