PLANETFALL
(Song lyric, copyright David Van Allen)
Accelerate to escape velocity
Break loose the chains of gravity
Bisecting the orbit of Mars
On through into the realm of the stars
Seeking a suitable system
A place to colonize
A habitable world with perhaps two moons in its skies
The crew is FROZEN
I am ALONE
Guiding the ship to our new home
There to release them from the cold
They will be YOUNG
I will be OLD
I've had a vision
I've seen it all
I'll be a Hero
Come PLANETFALL
Erect a statue
Engrave MY name
With a map to show how far we came
I'll be RESPECTED
I'll be REVERED
By every interstellar pioneer
Answering children's questions with the wisdom of a sage
I'll be a living legend with no friends of my own age
I will accept this
I won't get weird
'Cause after all
I VOLUNTEERED
I've had a vision
I've seen it all
I'll be a HERO
Come PLANETFALL
There's more stuff I've written in a similar vein, ie. adapting
classic science fiction themes to rock 'n' roll contexts,
popculture feeding on itself. e-mail at D.VANALLEN2.
