One day they tell me we'll all fly to the stars We'll spend our days on Venus and we'll spend our nights on Mars But I don't see that happening to me I don't think that's how it's gonna be I'll never fly into space I'll never walk on the moon I'll never go where no one has gone before 'Cause I was born a little too soon Yes I was born a little too soon Well my great-granddad was never on a jet He never had a VCR or surfed the internet And my children's children will see All these things that weren't meant for me I'll never fly into space I'll never walk on the moon I'll never go where no one has gone before 'Cause I was born a little too soon Yes I was born a little too soon All of this wishing All of this wanting to see All my curiosity Is running away with me Can't escape this prison Can't escape this prison of time Leaving history behind To those I'll never find I'll never fly into space I'll never walk on the moon I'll never go where no one has gone before 'Cause I was born a little too soon Yes I was born a little too soon
