First Things First

Impossible, or so it seems,
when we stand in the land of dreams!

Come run with me through solid walls,
ride fish beneath Niagara Falls!

Let's drink a great lake from a glass
and stop the clocks so no days pass.

With mountains as our stepping stones,
we'll track down all the last unknowns,

discover what there's left to see
across the globe - the galaxy!

Our road goes over other cars,
beyond the highways, toward the stars.

Perhaps we'll spend an afternoon
on the far side of the moon

or camp on Saturn for the night
then catch a comet for a flight

or travel backward to the past
or cruise through futures just as fast

to go where no one's flown before!
But first, we must walk out this door.
