Name: Astronaut
Duration: P00H04M07S
Description: Ever since I looked through a telescope at some points of light in the sky that resolved into the planets Jupiter and Saturn and I could see several of their moons, I have been captivated by the space beyond our planet. I would happily go to orbit or the moon or beyond if given the opportunity. Is there life out there? I'd like to think there is and that some day, we will know for certain.

lyrics

Astronaut

Looking in awe at the stars I find myself
thinking that there may be faces
looking back at me
Standing here in the dark I just can't help
thinking that I might go to those places
to see what I might see

Astronaut, astronaut

I wonder if all of those stars might have planets
and whether or not they have people
that look at all like me
Maybe they walk or fly airplanes or pilot
spaceships built like a church steeple
I'd like to ride so free

Astronaut, astronaut

Smooth acceleration and I'm off to visit Mars
Great exhilaration now I'm out among the stars

I could be wrong but I'd like to believe
that the universe is filled with creatures
with questions just like me
No doubt they'd like to go visit their planets
and see all their marvelous features
forests, clouds and seas

Astronaut, astronaut

One day I plan to be part of a crew of
astronauts off on a mission
to see what lives out there
But for the moment I'm happy to say
that I'm glad to be in this position
this universe to share

Astronaut, astronaut

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
