One Small Step

ONE SMALL STEP Saw writing on the wall, I swear There was a warning symbol there Your trip in space, a bad affair Short by one extra mile We’ve come so far from planet Earth Where of lithium there’s a dearth Mining is more risk than its worth Short by one extra mile Due to land on this unique moon I guess we did ignore that rune We ran out of fuel just too soon Short by one extra mile
