Heather Dale - Somebody Will lyrics

Our new world is so close Mars has treasures we're only just starting to find Frozen mountains and crimson dust Waiting for footprints that will not be mine A hundred years to run the first tests Another to raise the first dome The Moon, then Mars, then Titan next A lifetime to touch each new home And I want it so much Close my eyes, I can taste the Mars dust in the air In the darkness, the space stations shimmer In orbits that I will not share But I'll teach the student Who'll manage the factory That tempers the steel That makes colonies strong And I'll write the program That runs the computer That charts out the stars Where our rockets belong It will never get easy to wake from my dream When the future I dream of is so far away But I am willing to sacrifice Something I don't have For something I won't have But somebody will someday…. somebody will someday And it feels like a waste All this working and waiting and battling time And all for a kingdom that all of my efforts Will never make mine But brick by brick the Pyramids rose With most hidden under the sand So life by life the project grows In ways I might not understand I am voyaging too We will need the foundation as much as the dome For those worlds to come true And I'll clerk the office That handles the funding That raises the tower That watches the sky And I'll staff the bookstore That carries the journal That sparks the idea That makes solar sails fly It takes so many sailors to conquer an ocean And so many more when it's light-years away But I am willing to sacrifice Something I don't have For something I won't have But somebody will someday… somebody will someday It's so easy to run Hide away in my books, games, and fantasy plans Let them call me a dreamer Who can't face reality's grown-up demands But if I love my fantasy worlds It's not fantasy love that I feel And so much more I feel for this The world that created them World we create with them One chance to make them all real And I know we won't stop We've planned too many wonders for one little star Though often the present May seem too complacent to take us that far But I'll tell the story And I'll draw the picture And I'll sing the anthem That banishes doubt And host the convention That summons the family That carries the fire That never burns out There are so many chances to give up the journey Especially when it's so easy to stay But I am willing to sacrifice Something I don't have For something I won't have And not only me We are willing to sacrifice Something we don't have For something we won't have But somebody will… somebody will… somebody will someday
