This Might Be My Year To Go To Mars

[dburr13]

I don’t need a reason
like I needed one before
the earth I know is tired
from far 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
