Small Going Spaceward

I think that we have a chance
But there are things we should know
The two of us are new to this
If we want to see this through, then it’s
Important that we take things slow

We’ll have our good days and bad
We’ll have our tantrums and fights
But, darling, when the day is through
As long as I’m still next to you
I swear we'll make it through the night

One day, we’ll be bigger than we are right now
One day, we will run, but first we’ll crawl
We’re the birth of something beautiful
We’ll grow and show the world who we are
But for now, we can start out small

At first, we’ll struggle to speak
And we won’t know what to say
We’ll babble first, then form some words
Then sentences from nouns and verbs
Then a language of our own someday

One day, we’ll be better than we are right now
One day, we will run, but first we’ll crawl
We’re the birth of something beautiful
We’ll grow and show the world who we are
But for now, we can start out small
