Moonshot
I'm building a rocket
Been working so hard
Getting ready to rocket
straight outta my backyard
I'm building a rocket
It's bigger than me
It's my gift to your future
My mega legacy
Ready, aim
The stars are aligning
Ready, aim
I've been sweating a lot
But I persevere
The hopes of a nation ride
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
The neighbors are tense
When they point and they laugh
I don't even take offense
Ready, aim
A quiet confidence
Has been my mark
Since I was a tot
I've been sent here
To show you people how
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
It's totally mine
It'll spell out my name
Where the sun don't ever shine
My motives are pure
I've untangled the knots
I'm ready for sure, Lord
Now give me all you've got
May the planets align for you
Hold steady and taut
If you're face down
In desperation, know
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
It's not about me
You'll be thanking me after
I've saved humanity
I took steel and a feather
And welded them together
I took hellfire and ice
And made them play nice
Been working so hard
Getting ready to rocket
straight outta my backyard
I'm building a rocket
It's bigger than me
It's my gift to your future
My mega legacy
Ready, aim
The stars are aligning
Ready, aim
I've been sweating a lot
But I persevere
The hopes of a nation ride
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
The neighbors are tense
When they point and they laugh
I don't even take offense
Ready, aim
A quiet confidence
Has been my mark
Since I was a tot
I've been sent here
To show you people how
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
It's totally mine
It'll spell out my name
Where the sun don't ever shine
My motives are pure
I've untangled the knots
I'm ready for sure, Lord
Now give me all you've got
May the planets align for you
Hold steady and taut
If you're face down
In desperation, know
Everybody gets one moonshot
I'm building a rocket
It's not about me
You'll be thanking me after
I've saved humanity
I took steel and a feather
And welded them together
I took hellfire and ice
And made them play nice
