I'm building a rocket Been working so hard Getting ready to rocket Straight outta my backyard I'm building a rocket It's bigger than me It's my gift to your future My mega legacy Ready, aim The stars are aligning Ready, aim I've been sweating a lot But I persevere The hopes of a nation ride Everybody gets one moonshot I'm building a rocket The neighbors are tense When they point and they laugh I don't even take offense Ready, aim A quiet confidence Has been my mark Since I was a tot I've been sent here To show you people how Everybody gets one moonshot I'm building a rocket It's totally mine It'll spell out my name Where the sun don't ever shine My motives are pure I've untangled the knots I'm ready for sure, Lord Now give me all you've got May the planets align for you Hold steady and taut If you're face down In desperation, know Everybody gets one moonshot I'm building a rocket It's not about me You'll be thanking me after I've saved humanity I took steel and a feather And welded them together I took hellfire and ice And made them play nice
