about

Though it was written and originally recorded in 2004, this is a self-descriptive song as seen from my perspective obviously.

While the NASA recording in the beginning is appropriate, it's also a nod to my dream as a 4 year old to one day become an astronaut and go to the stars. It will, I said at that age, only take me 5 minutes to reach the moon.

lyrics

A man by day, a boy at night
He tries to keep his dreams alive
But reality keeps pushing in
Fight and push and pull away
Fight to keep that monster at bay

He gets up at 6:15
Showers, shaves, and starts to preen
Wants to look the corporate man
But when his brain starts to take a rest
He flies to places only he knows best

A famous musician or a fireman
A pilot or whatever he can

Are you ready?
Yes, I’m ready.

A family guy when he’s home at night
Loves his wife, and he feels alright
But in his heart he’s taking off in flight
And while in bed he savors the dreams
That make reality more than it seems

He wishes he were a captain of industry
A mover and a shaker is his destiny

Are you ready?
Yes, I’m ready.

(Spoken)
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
