Star Voyage

For a boy I know who wants to be on the first manned mission to Spica.

The stars are calling, calling, calling
Across the sea of space and time
And I am running to where they’re sprawling
And I will make them mine!

With my rocket wrapped around me
And a sail of dust and fire
The planets will surround me
And I will pass them by.

Mars salutes my passing
Ceres sees me on.
Jupiter sends me dashing
And Saturn comes along.

Neptune leads to Pluto
And Comets flirt their tails.
Testing all that you know
As we catch star-wind in our sails.

The stars are calling, calling, calling
Across a sea of space and time.
And I have come where they are calling
And I will make them mine!
