Astronaut
(by Monica Filgo)

I want to be an astronaut be weightless and swim through atmospheres. I want to see you from out there. You'll be stuck because of gravity. But I'll be free.

I'll travel faster than the speed of light and discover planets no one else has seen. I'll weave through an asteroid field. I'll chart a new galaxy, you'll see. I'll be an astronaut.

Noticing new constellations. I'll give a star your name when I get to outer space.

So long earthlings, I'm going to another realm. I never did belong, I was an alien all along.

So long earthlings, I was an alien all along I'll be an astronaut, I was an alien all along.
