Ladder to the Moon



LADDER TO THE MOON

I'll build you a ladder to the moon
Love will make it all possible, still
Don't you expect it all that soon
But I know my love can and will

Although the actual realities of building such a project are astronomical
And not in the colloquial sense but  involve planetary bodies
An incredibly long distance apart in outer space
and the thought of connecting them through primitive technology
 like a ladder is preposterous
And presenting such a plan to any serious engineer
Would make him balk and scoff and call you names
But still I'm gonna try to

 Build you a ladder to the moon
Love will make it all possible, still
Don't you expect it all that soon
But I know my love can and will

Build you a ladder to the moon
Although before getting started it's important to note that
The orbital bodies in question are not stationary fixed points in space
But rather spinning in constant motion
From inertial forces which it's theorized
Began during their creation as the orbs coalesced from hot debris
So no conceivable straight line can be drawn between two fixed points on each
The very notion is true lunacy
But still I'm gonna try to

Build you a ladder to the moon
Love will make it all possible, still
Don't you expect it all that soon
But I know my love can and will

Build you a ladder to the moon
Though also not to be downplayed is the likely social outcry
As we dedicate vast resources which some think 'twere better spent
On social programs, third world debt, or reparations for slavery
Always a thorny issue
But perhaps we'll put perspective on that controversy
When we walk out into the vast abyss of outer space
(Despite the lack of oxygen)
And use my love to climb up to the stars and beyond

On my ladder to the moon
Love will make it all possible, still
Go ahead expect it all that soon
But I know my love can and will
But I know my love can and will
But I know my love can and will
