They said the surface was suffocating,   They said the distance wasn't worth the waiting.   They said the pressure could crush the spirit of a man   But none of them see the heavens   From the place where I stand      She is the brightest star that's in the sky   She is the reason every astronaut would fly   I see the lighting clouds of white on cobalt fields of blue   And I close my eyes and sigh   I can't believe it's true      The moon is burning bright,   I saw her face tonight   I touched the seamless beauty with my hands,   I'm never going back again.      They said I'm foolish   Fleeting hopes in borrowed dreams,   They said forget her,   The moon is far beyond your reach   I would run out of fuel long before I'd ever land   But none of them can see this world   From the place where I stand.
