This Might Be My Year To Go To Mars

I don’t need a reason

like I needed one before

the earth I know is tired

from one too many wars

all the nervous humor

is getting tired and old

I can see it coming

and I don’t have to be told

this might be

yes this might be

as good a time

as there will ever be

I’d like to see

if I could go that far

this might be my year to go to mars

changes blur the seasons

from what they were before

the places I remember

are just pictures on the floor

I won’t try to deny it

the warm that should be cold

I can see it coming

and I don’t have to be told

this might be

yes this might be

as good a time

as there will ever be

I’d like to see

if I could go that far

this might be my year to go to mars

they ask me why

I say why not

there come’s a day

to fly away

from everything you’ve got

this might be

yes this might be

as good a time

as there will ever be

I’d like to see

if I could go that far

this might be my year to go to mars
