The Build from Astro Cadet by Christian Simpson

Yeah

I built a spaceship in a junkyard
Using pieces of broken down cars
Oh they said it all couldn't be done
I just thought I might have a bit of fun

It took about 8 long years
Ridiculed and scorned by all my peers
Oh they said it all couldn't be done
I just thought I might have a bit of fun

And it'll take me up there
There's no time to be scared

Every nut, every bolt, part of the design
All that's left is to check that this rocket flies
Straight into the sky
Every switch, every wire, placed with all my care
Years and years, now it's finally ready for the air
Pray for me cuz I'm so scared

I've checked every component once or twice
About ready for the ride of my life
Oh they said it all couldn't be done
I just thought I might have a bit of fun

I packed enough to last for the ride
Got my snacks and my Bible by my side
Oh they said it all couldn't be done
I just thought I might have a bit of fun

And it'll take me up there
God please take away my fear

Every nut, every bolt, part of the design
All that's left is to check that this rocket flies
Straight into the sky
Every switch, every wire, placed with all my care
Years and years, now it's finally ready for the air
Pray for me cuz I'm so scared

I've never done something like this before
If I'm going up then I gotta be sure
That everything I built will hold up for the ride
Of my life

Every nut, every bolt, part of the design
All that's left is to check that this rocket flies
Straight into the sky
Every switch, every wire, placed with all my care
Years and years, now it's finally ready for the air
Pray for me cuz I'm so scared
