When the world takes on an air of confusion, ever more than it had before

I run to a dream
A children's cartoon
Where a boy and his family live in the stars
A life of robot pets, world-hopping and talking spaceships

Where they are still flawed as humans tend to be
But greet their challenges with grace and humility
And accept the alien friends they've yet to meet- true heroes

I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like a pretty great world to me
And more possible than other fantasies
That humans will one day live in the stars
And not just live, but thrive

I'd like to visit there someday
But I've still got a long journey left to make

I'm only seventeen

So I've got to kindly ask,
that while my feet are firmly planted on the ground,
*please don't mess this world up, for me
