lyrics

No good ever comes from standing around.
No one gets anywhere by hugging the ground.
Few have envisioned so many strange new worlds,
So many bright futures as I have.

No good ever comes from staring at dirt -
All you get is vertigo and drool on your shirt.
Few have built so many strange machines
With as capable hands as I have.

chorus:

I'll be the Orville, and the Wilbur - your back yard
Will fill with old bike chains and aluminum poles.
My early inventions will flip and destroy themselves,
Marring your beacheads with wreckage and holes.
But my crazy ideas will blossom like daffodils -
New worlds will open before your wide eyes.
And the time that got lost, and the fortune it cost
Will be paid back the day that I come home alive.

No good ever comes from reining it in -
You fall back, you fall down, you never begin.
Few have built so many oddball machines
With as capable hands as I have.

(chorus)
