Space Mad(ness)

Space Mad(ness)

On another go round as I see Earth rising

Weightlessness is being like Superman

If I don’t strap in before I sleep

Wake up nose pressed to the ceiling
 
I’m living in space isolated but I’m on the ground

Wife and little ones are watching and praying

Hoping I return as Daddy and not burning up

Price you pay to be an astronaut but the rewards

Are so dam good how many have woken to the Earth rising

I see storms brewing back on the earth

But I’m an astronaut I can’t find words

Living in a space station without borders

I’m Capn Kirk looking to be beamed up by Scotty

As the world turns I miss my kids my family

But I signed up for this even if it makes my family scream

I’m an Astronaut I’m on top of the Universe

As the fire burns the tiles I hope we ride this one out

Parachute out give a gasp out hold your breath

We are silently landing on the runway

Can’t even stand up being weightless for so long
 
So they carry me in a King’s Chair I still can’t feel my legs
