Let's Slide Down the Milky Way
Let’s Slide Down the Milky Way
<\center>I slid down the Milky Way
Through billowing clouds and twinkling stars
Played with moonbeams in a galaxy so far away
What do you have to say?
Let me tell you about that night
The joy of my flight
Do resist the urge to fight
Let’s slide down the Milky Way
My spirit was free
I was looking to make a new discovery
A lovely fairy stood next to me
We will travel to a place of peace and equality
This is the way life should be
And what happened next I will never understand
I was standing in a distant land
I didn’t even know I had left Earth you see
It was real you see,
At least it was real to me
A child handed me a moonbeam and a star,
<\e,>Let’s slide down the Milky Way.
Do you want to play?<\em>
This was hard for me to do,
They kept begging me to play
Finally my inhibitions gave way
We played all through the night,
‘Neath the bright moonlight
All too soon the sun was bright
Tonight, you can share my fantasy
If you do not take the chance
You may never learn to dance
If you have no imagination,
You will never know jubilation
Words are not always true
It depends upon your point of view
Let’s slide down the Milky Way<\center>
