Light Years Ahead
I climbed into the spaceship
The countdown had begun
I heard the captain saying
“Five…four…three...two…one”
I wore a shiny spacesuit
The takeoff would be soon
I fastened tight my seatbelt
As we took off for the moon
I saw the Earth beneath me
It felt great to be alive
And journey in a spaceship
When I was only five
We sped along the Milky Way
And sailed through seas of stars
We whizzed passed Pluto, Venus,
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars
The captain let me take control
He showed me all the tricks
We landed back next morning
And I found that I was six
