Boy give me one good reason
We should try again
Wouldn't it be easier to straighten out
The Tower of Pisa?
So reflecting on this query I would have to say
Any other day I would look the other way

Say, did you hear about the voyage of 1912?
They told those people
They were on an unsinkable vessel
That promise is in two giant pieces
On the ocean floor
I couldn't see you anymore
I was swimming for the shore

Now I'll fly for a rescue
Use the wind, the sand, the stars to find me
Fly for a rescue
Maybe you could use some rescuing too

And how does a boy consider a new trajectory?
Wish I could ask those pilots from the past
About their first expedition
'Cause those men flew right into the night
And some were never found
There's silence here around
It's just the sky or the ground
Given these men made vessels
Might very well lead us
To disastrous collisions
With an iceberg or island
I think I'll hitch a ride to Venus
On some shooting star
Do I want to go to Mars
Write my name out in the stars?

Gonna fly for a rescue
Use the wind, the sand, the stars
To find me
Fly for a rescue
Maybe you could use some rescuing right now

I'll fly
Use the wind, the sand, the stars to find you

Fly for a rescue
Rescue
Maybe you could use some rescuing too
