Ten Seconds to Count Down
Pieter Van Dessel
When the morning comes I open up the blinds
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
I'm skipping school, instead I need to park
This spaceship in my yard
It takes a rocket ride to leave this town
And live between the stars
It takes a thousand years to reach this goal of mine
But ten seconds to count down
The day has come to fire the rocket up
The ignition hurts my eyes
The massive smoke transforms the many clouds
Then I'm higher than the sky
It takes a rocket ride to leave this town
And live between the stars
It takes a thousand years to reach this goal of mine
But ten seconds to count down
My friends say I'm dreamer and a clown
But that won't slow me down
Now tuck me in and get me on a flight
To another place and time
