Astronaut (Edit)

He’s gonna be a spaceman

A leave it all behind man

He’s running as fast as he can

He’s gonna be an astronaut

Way up in the high he thought

Nobody could hurt him

Nobody else one can hear him

He holds onto his breath again

Counting back from 1 to 10

Making his final descent

Not sure if it’s night or day

The earth looks very far away

He used to be all play He used to hear his dad say

He’s gonna be an astronaut

He’s gonna be a spaceman

He’s gonna be a hero

He’s gonna be American

He’s gonna be an astronaut

He’s gonna be a spaceman

He’s gonna be a rockstar

He’s gonna be president

His only friend is silence

No love and no violence

Becoming part of science

He listens to his heart beat

It tells him when it’s time to eat

Breathing in tinned air

Somewhere in a nowhere

He’s gonna be an astronaut

He’s gonna be a spaceman

He’s gonna be a hero

He’s gonna be American

He’s gonna be an astronaut

He’s gonna be a spaceman

He’s gonna be a rockstar

He’s gonna be president

He’s gonna be an astronaut
