Astronaut

I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid

Then I thought
That's what all the talented people did

So I did not.

Be persistent, please
Be passionate, please
Put all you have into everything you do, please
Have consistency
Without resistance, you see
And above all
Stick to the things that you believe.

I used to imagine characters in the sky

Now pressures beat down and I'll admit
(Gotta survive)
(But I wanna fly)
I comply
(The world's telling me to compromise)
Compromise.

Be persistent, please
Be passionate, please
Put all you have into everything you do, please
Have consistency
Without resistance, you see
And above all
Stick to the things that you believe.

He said a two-letter-word
It had an "N"
It had an "O"
It sounded absurd, though
I'd prefer to not hear it again
If that word ever enters your earlobes
Be sure to forget it
Just as quick as you possibly can.

Be persistent, please
Be passionate, please
Put all you have into everything you do, please
Have consistency
Without resistance, you see
And above all
Stick to the things that you believe.
