billroperThey're off.
I would climb aboard the rocket.
I would dare to face the odds.
I would reach into my pocket
And I would roll the dice with God
To see the world in free-fall,
To be part of heaven's dance.
Yeah, I'd like to think I'm equal
If I'm given half a chance,
'Cause I just need half a chance.
I would climb aboard the rocket.

To be part of heaven's dance.

If I'm given half a chance,
'Cause I just need half a chance.

Date: 2005-07-27 03:26 am (UTC)Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet ---
We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the friendly skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.
-- Robert A. Heinlein
They went up in style, may they return in safety.
