The Little Things

We got into our cars
And we drove off to the stars
But we all ran out of gas
We never made it further than Mars
Then we flew up to the Sun
On wings held with spirit gum
But the Moon got in the way
Our flying days were over and done
Sometimes other worlds get in our way, and spoil our play
But this world lies before us every day
And it makes us say…

Somewhere out of this world
Is where you’d like to be
But somewhere inside this world
The little things wait for me
Somewhere, for what it’s worth
Your Planet Earth is here
(But then…)

We went to Saturn’s rings
To see the wonders that they bring
But they were made of odd socks we’d lost
And other missing things
Now the story rambles on
We launched a rocket from the lawn
But we forgot to get inside
We watched it as it kissed the great beyond
Sometimes other worlds, they get us wound, and let us down
But hope still springs around us from familiar ground

So the moral of this whimsical tune
About planets, stars, and moons
Is keep on chasing bigger things
But don’t forget the little things
Live and love the little things
Ah, the little things…

Live and love a little longer
Live and love your life a little longer.
