Lyrics:
One boy wants to be an astronaut, the girl with the polka dots said, “I think that’s neat, can I ride in your spaceship?” the little boy nodded his head He said, “Of course you can, you look the part, and I can make suits for two” And she, “I love you and if you’ll let me come, I’ll give all I am to you”
Boy and girl take off, and several years later have kids and a family Neither have ever been in a spaceship, but the boy still wants to be He says, “I can look and act the part, can someone tell me why not?” And she, “I love you, but where’s your heart? Have you been given what you’ve got?”
And I can act the very same, but I just want to stop and say
You’re pretending that the sun needs an attorney You’re playing like the mountains need an ad or two You’ve been telling all the lakes where to take their water When they’ve already been told what to do
The little boy finally gets what he’s sought, the suit and ship and all The girl is left with what he’s got, but she doesn’t want him at all She says, “Why don’t all of my dreams come true? I’ll leave and figure out” She changes lives and solves world hunger, and runs from all her doubts
So life your life, don’t just breathe it in ‘Cause you’ll never survive if you only take what you give
Stop pretending you’re a hired mercenary Stop living like you’re God’s favorite employee Your name isn’t even written down on His payroll There’s only One name that can be
