Big World Beyond the Moon
Rest upon the moon craters
Gaze down to Earth
Marvel in space
Or float on a comet.
Land on earth
Feel gravity’s pull
Meet bears and tigers
Or swim with the sharks.
Fly in a hot air balloon
Way up in the clouds
Tumble down a grassy hill
Or splash in an icy pond.
Run like mad from angry bees
Hide out in a barn
Taste some sticky honey
And tell an awesome yarn.
Gaze down to Earth
Marvel in space
Or float on a comet.
Land on earth
Feel gravity’s pull
Meet bears and tigers
Or swim with the sharks.
Fly in a hot air balloon
Way up in the clouds
Tumble down a grassy hill
Or splash in an icy pond.
Run like mad from angry bees
Hide out in a barn
Taste some sticky honey
And tell an awesome yarn.
