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.
