Spaceship

Once upon a time... A little boy and a little girl Looked up at the stars from the planet below Seeing the moon hang bright in the sky Said one to the other, I wonder... I wonder, if there we could go. Said the stars in the sky to the two on the ground, If you reach up high and fly into the night You will never come down Try as you might So the boy and the girl came up with a scheme (not to be like Heroes stun guns blazing, Or find aliens no matter how amazing) But to build a sleek spaceship to follow their dream. They rolled up their sleeves,and got right to work Putting gizmos to gadgets, whosits to whatsits A mighty spaceship did start to take form. At last came the day when the two, Declared that all was right. they could finally, 3...2...1 ... Blast off into the night. Together in a spaceship built on dreams As they went along their travels All of the marvels In a lonely universe they did see. Past the supernovas And into Antares nebula Swinging from Orion's belt And drinking from the dipper. Seeing baby stars be born In the Oort cloud Eating cookies with the Milky way Jumping around the galaxies. Just the boy and the girl all alone Among the shining stars Floating in a spaceship Heading back towards home. A little boy and a little girl Look down from the stars to the planet below Past the moon hanging bright in the sky. Said one to the other, I wonder... I wonder, if there we could go. ...
