One Day I'll Be Poem Lyrics

Today at school, my teacher said,

I wonder what you'll be like?

When time has passed and you've grown up,

And the world is yours to see.

Right then and there I stood straight up,

And looked her in the face,

And said with pride and confidence,

I plan to live in space.

Like pirates of so long ago,

My ship will take me far,

Around the moon and back again,

And to a distant star.

So when you talk about the world,

And say it's yours to see,

I believe I'll have the greatest view,

Upon the cosmic sea.

James Mcdonald
