lyrics

Do you still dream of space adventure?
As a tiny child it really grabbed you
Models and books, and plastic telescopes
Your head in the clouds but still looking up to the sky

Not science fiction to me

Remember the time we built a rocket probe?
Balsa, cardboard with plenty of rope
I misunderstood where the kerosene goes
The blanket fireball didn’t dampen your hope for the sky

Not science fiction to me
It’s life, it’s death, it’s more important
A child on a mission, and the mission relied on me

Do childhood dreams wilt with pressure
The need to eat overtakes us all
As you set sail on your life’s adventure
Don’t forget to keep looking up at the sky

Not science fiction to me
It’s life, it’s death, it’s more important
A child on a mission, and the mission relied on me

It’s never too late if you want to be an astronaut
Need to hold your breath, and you can practice underwater

Who are the real heroes here?
Is it men with machines or people facing fear?
Pushing boundaries they didn’t know were there

Keeping focus, is hard at times
Requires some commitment and peace of mind
Don’t be fooled by those that know you well, know you well

Life’s a big voyage of discovery
So many ups and downs
And obviously I think I’m kinda jealous of the time ahead that you have

When it comes to take my leave
Close my eyes and remember what I’ve done and what I’ve seen
Maybe then, I can live among the stars

Fading out, I’ll live among the stars
Fading out, I’ll live among the stars
Fading out, I’ll live among the stars now
See me through the clouds
