Astronaut
Beyond Earth's Bounds: Sara Jean Kelley's Cosmic Odyssey
Lyrics
I was born
I came into existence
An astronaut
As someone who explores the unknown
When I die
Upon my death
Forget me not
Remember me always
Though I'll never walk on the moon
Even though I won't achieve the extraordinary feat of walking on the moon
And I'll never visit Mars
And I won't reach the planet Mars
I know I was destined to fly
I believe my destiny is to soar through the skies
To dance with the stars
To have a celestial dance with the stars
I was born
Just like I was born to be a great leader of this ship
A great captain of this ship
I will navigate the Earth until I reach its furthest point
And I'll sail
Even if I face challenges and uncertainties
The earth till I reach the tip
And someday, the winds guiding me may cease
Though I may fall off the edge
Yet, my internal compass will guide me back home
And some day these winds they may stop
Even in moments of confusion or being lost
My compass will lead me back home
Recognizing that I might stumble along the way
Even when I get lost
And acknowledging that I may fall
And I know that I may stumble
The ground beneath me might crumble
And I know that I may fall
And I may lose everything
And the earth beneath me may crumble
Just as I was born with the determination to overcome challenges
And I'll lose it all
Though at times, difficulties may bring me to my knees
I was born
Even when I feel the urge to surrender
With the will to kill the beast
And fear for my existence
Though somedays
I will stand tall and resolute
He brings me to my knees
Ready to confront and combat
And I may want to give up
Accepting the possibility of stumbling again
And I may fear for my life
Anticipating the likelihood of falling
I will stand up straight and tall
Knowing that the ground beneath me may crumble
And I'm going to fight
But I won't lose everything
And I know that I may stumble
Reiterating the idea of being born to explore the unknown
And I know that I will fall
Even in the face of challenges, I'll press on
And the earth beneath me will crumble
Even if the ground crumbles beneath me
But I won't lose it all
I will not lose everything
I was born
Once again emphasizing the theme of being an explorer
An astronaut
As an astronaut
When I die
Upon my death
Forget me not
Remember me always
