All Aboard For Mars

I remember mama's man of a certain charm
Set me on his shoulders,saying all aboard for Mars
His legs would start to shaking, as lift-off saw me breaking
Through the atmosphere
Was a summer lover from on the beach boardwalk
Took me out for fishing and to "learn" me with his talks
He'd never be my daddy but he was so good at it
Summer last a year
All aboard for Mars, lift-offs very near
We've started up the countdown so soon we're out of here
Astronauts, life-like robots, courageous musketeers
Pirate ships and hieroglyphs each summer would appear
Mama never told me I didn't know he died
Then one day I found it-an old cemetary guide
I knew that I'd be going, a need in me for knowing
Soon to see his grave
So it was off I went, an old guide with her mark
To lead me through my life, like any walk in the park
I brushed off the moss to see
It was then that I saw we
Shared the same last name
All aboard for Mars..lift-offs very near
We've started up the countdown
So soon we're out of here
Life's like that, too hard to grasp
It's ended all too soon
With a wink I like to think
Dad's face is on the moon
