What possesses a man To want to reach for The moon and stars? What blind ambition Makes us want to strive The faraway beauty above? What will we do When we reach our goal Of touching heaven? Can a man ever be so bold As to leave the heavens Unblemished upon arrival? To wish upon a star, To land upon the moon, And make them a home. What gives him the right To presume he can take What shines so bright? Some people say We have already landed there And that the stars are next. Some people say It was all a hoax Who knows what we've done? I once dreamed Of touching the moon and stars Only to find I'm still grounded. Still bound by gravity To stand alone and cast shadows From their light above. Should I wish upon the stars What gives me the right To reach heaven again? To make one small step For a man, one giant leap For a lifetime. Only one thing can be Why the light shines down: Love beckons us home. Copyright � 2002 by Daniel Shaurette
