Before I Explore the Universe
What if I could be a fighter pilot...
zooming through the clouds
til enemies desert in shrods.
Fight for freedom, serve my nation,
survive the perils of aviation.
What if I could be an engineer...
pushing the limits
of nature and physics.
Bring the future now
By the sweat of my evolving brow.
What if I could be an Astronaut...
a gazing Angel exploring space
marveling at Earth in the Sun's embrace.
Exploring out into the sea of stars
hoping to land on nearby Mars.
Can I, can I, can I be...
A fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy?
A skilled engineer ready for anything?
Please, when that is earned,
can I say?
I'm an astronaut.
