Starchild

So you want to ride the waves of the Milky Way
Don't let me hold you back
Reach for the stars, my boy
Go ahead and forge your own path

You’re already the captain of the ship in my heart
I'm proud no matter what you do
So proud in fact, it's awesome
When I grow up, I want to be you!

Just make sure when you become an astronaut 
Come tell your old man about your adventures in space
I don't need you lost out there
I don't want you to vanish without a trace

So when you’re flying past Earth like a comet
Out there all curious and brave 
Don't forget your dad’s chained to this rock
Look down lovingly and give me a wave

I know this world is too small to contain your spirit
And it's hard letting you grow up and go
But I support your galaxy quest vision
And I love you and want you to know!

So while you’re out there being Superman in a foreign land
Don't forget to remember you can get hurt
And if you find some sort of alien gift shop
Be a good sport and buy your old man a t-shirt
