I want to sail across the seas
A journey I’ve waited to take
In a hot air balloon, by the light of the moon
To a world that isn’t so fake

Up, into the darkened skies
Adrift, over oceans of blue
Its waters widespread, Oh! The stars overhead
Would you like to go with me, too?

We can follow the bands of color
Floating gently, with the ripples below
A rainbow of bliss, how I’ve imagined this!
Let’s see how far we can go

We won’t look back, no sir, not us
Ahead is the very best place
Yes, we’re leaving soon, next stop is the moon
As we sail away, into outer space
