Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you'll land among the stars
Show me a glint of light from the moon
and I will show you hope
Her beauty and her elegance is never marred
Show me a glimpse of her glow
and I will show you love
Her titan strength is in her luminous glare
Show me the stars and I will understand the moon
if I shoot for the moon and land on the stars, that's ok.
The USA will shoot for the moon
The 3-week tour will be over soon
The trip will appease
Kraft's search for cheap cheese
Which Trump declassified back in June
Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll still be among the stars
Who said that, some smart fellow that ate too many Mars bars
Too many are not smart
They can affect your farts
They can literally explode and blow you off the cart
Shoot for the moon even if you miss you'll land among the stars take the time to stop and smell the roses even if you're traveling slow you will go far go out of your way to be nice to someone today and love will come back to you tenfold 'cuz what goes around comes around always Don't you know it's not what on the outside that matters and you can never judge a book by its cover alone so if you need a friend be a friend, if you're lonely end someone's loneliness then somewhere out there somebody right now needs a helping hand for sure why don't you give them yours you just might find your problems don't seem so bad anymore Be Somebody's Angel end someone's hell Be Somebody's Angel good always conquers evil without fail so shoot for the moon now even if you miss you'll land among the stars Be Somebody's Angel and show them the way 'cuz what goes around comes around always so Be Somebody's Angel, Be Somebody's Angel today!
They told me I could move mountains...
But I couldn't even get them to budge.
They told me I could have my cookie...
But I couldn't even have it in fudge.
They told me I could be who I want,
But people still don't call me Bill Gates.
They told me anything is possible,
But I still can't grow money, so that is up for debate.
They told me to shoot for the moon,
but i still miss it every time!
They told me to love EVERYONE,
but they didn't tell me that it is a crime.
They told me school would make me smarter,
but more often people still treat me like a dunce.
They told me college would make me richer,
I went... and already had to file bankruptcy once.
The lesson here is not so bad
I promise where there's bad there is hope
With all the yeses I thought I'd get,
Most often I was slapped with a "nope"
But the moral of the story
Is that life can be misunderstood
You shouldn't always do what your told,
Instead, just do what you know you should.
And if you don't get what you thought that you'd get,
You must be looking at it all wrong.
Everything happens for a reason,
But I don't have to tell you...
you've known all along.
Why should i shoot for the moon
If all that ill be is a star
Why should i settle for less than my dream?
The moon is far
But i will reach it
And all of you who hold me back
Can get out of my way
'Cause im going far
