The Starship Maker

The clang of steel the spark of a flame In my shipyard no two days are the same. I crank up the torque get my hands in the grime Tuning engines so sharp they outrun time. Fuel tanks thrusters and shields to boot If it's spaceworthy you know I've got the loot. Built to fly built to run Every ship shines when the work is done. From the yard to the sky hear the engines roar I make them strong I build to soar. I've patched up hulls with duct tape and flair Fixed more broken panels than I care to share. Once had a pilot say "You're my last bet" I said "Pay up quick-burritos don't buy themselves yet." Built to fly built to run Every ship shines when the work is done. From the yard to the sky hear the engines roar I make them strong I build to soar. It's not just work; it's the life I choose Each ship I touch feels like paying dues. In every weld and rivet I leave my trace A mechanic's love for the endless space. I don't need a cockpit to touch the stars Every bolt I turn powers dreams afar. From sleek star racers to warship beasts I'm the mastermind behind the feasts. Someday I'll craft my magnum opus A ship so fast it'll leave no focus. But for now I'm here where my heart aligns Building futures one design at a time. Built to fly built to run Every ship shines when the work is done. From the yard to the sky hear the engines roar I make them strong I build to soar. People think it's easy but let me be clear A busted plasma coil can ruin your year. I've cursed at engines that wouldn't comply But there's nothing sweeter than watching them fly. I've carved my path in this galaxy's sprawl From patching cruisers to building them tall. I don't need applause or a big marquee Just give me my tools and let me be free. Built to fly built to run Every ship shines when the work is done. From the yard to the sky hear the engines roar I make them strong I build to soar. Through the sparks and steel my legacy's clear I'm the shipyard queen with nothing to fear.
