lyrics

Gadgets, a house full, one coffee pot
It’s broken now from years and years of being used a lot
The professor, his angled face has surely lost the race
To never age a day, unlike his dear old dad
But he’s working so hard just to prove all his reasons
Building away for a better tomorrow.

He’s a local attraction at the ‘Bits n Bobs’ store
They adore his persistence but only as a means to mock him
But he’s finally designed and built something worth everything
Today is the test trial but something seems wrong.

“My hopeless invention has hit the ground, she won’t fly, she’ll never fly” he screams.

Again and again and again he tries, blisters to bruises
A scar on the shoulder reminds of the atlas, ambition is not without heart
The motor it starts.

“Will she fly? She might fly? I will fly”.
