To the Moon and Back (As Far As the Rocket Can Go)

I remember when he left, you stayed so strong Teaching us the way of life, the rights and the wrongs At church we learned of love and hope and of God's grace When we met Dad, everything fell back into place Do you still recall that time when we were young And all we ever wanted was to be someone And though we are now grown, I hope we've made you proud This chorus is my thought of your thoughts, played aloud If I could, I'd build a rocket for you Fly it as far as the galaxies allow me to Then cast a net to gather all of the stars To show you the light that you were to my heart And every day and night you want to fly Just take that rocket up into the sky I will guide you, keep you on track I'll take you anywhere, even to the moon and back Moving on to now, I hardly have the words So I'll do my best to tell you with these chords I'll always be your son, I'll love you 'til the end We'll always have our oodles and gobs, our poodles and frogs And our playing pretend If I could, I'd build a rocket for you Fly it as far as the galaxies allow me to Then cast a net to gather all of the stars To show you the light that you were to my heart And every day and night you want to fly Just take that rocket up into the sky I will guide you, keep you on track I'll take you anywhere, even to the moon and back So now, up here in space, we're in the stars, we're face to face With constellations, with confidence, that all the world could not convince That all the footsteps here on the moon, are from our travels, back here so soon And if the fuel won't get us home, we'll fly as far as the rocket can go If I could, I'd build a rocket for you Fly it as far as the galaxies allow me to Then cast a net to gather all of the stars To show you the light that you were to my heart If I could, I'd build a rocket for you Fly it as far as the galaxies allow me to Then cast a net to gather all of the stars To show you the light that you were to my heart And every day and night you want to fly Just take that rocket up into the sky If we leave our course, and we're lost off our track At least I know the moon will be waiting for us when we come back
