V1
Lack went out to build a rocket ship just like he’d seen,
But all he had was bottle caps and cans and hopes and dreams.
He had a big idea, and it could've stopped here.
Those dreams lift off like NASA rockets blasting to the sky,
But Houston we’ve got problems 'cause Lack opened up his eyes.
He didn't have the tools, but no, Lack's not a fool.
C1
What he don't have won’t hold him back,
Though it might be what he needs.
'Cause he does have astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams the more he sees
He’s not yet qualified.
But what I know about Lack is that he’ll get there,
You just gotta give him time.
V2
Lack packed up his bags and took his dreams to Californ.
He studied astrophysics and how galaxies are formed.
You might say that he’d arrived, but he wasn't satisfied.
'Cause he had Armstrong dreams of playing putt-putt on the moon,
But his bachelor pad was launching bad and his rent was overdue.
He longed for all the thrills, but he could barely pay his bills.
C2
What he don't have won’t hold him back,
Though it might be what he needs.
'Cause he does have astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams the more he sees
He’s not yet qualified.
But what I know about Lack is that he’ll get there,
You just gotta give him time.
You just gotta give him time!
V3
Lack looks out the window as he’s racing past the sun,
But his heart is grounded wondering how he’ll raise the other one.
After all that he had earned, he still had much to learn,
But the limit of his name was the reason he was sure.
C3
What he don't have won’t hold him back,
Though it might be what he needs.
'Cause he does have astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams the more he sees
He’s not yet qualified.
But what I know about Lack is that he’ll get there.
Oh, what I know about Lack is that he’ll get there,
You just gotta give him time.
You just gotta give him time. Oo-oo-oo-oo.
