Because It's There - Ellis Paul

We built a giant rocket

And we sent it to the moon

With an astronaut

A cosmonaut

A dog

And a baboon

Tell the aliens on Jupiter

That we’re coming soon

And we’re coming

Just because the stars are there

Because it’s there

Because it’s there

Because we could

Because we should

Because we dare

Because it’s there

We’ll pack some flares

But we’re going to the

Because they’re there

We built a little submarine

Upon the ocean waves

We’re taking it to the bottom

To Davey Jones' grave

Through miles and miles of jelly fish

A sailor must be brave

But he’s going

Just because the bottom’s there

We climbed the top of Everest

We said a silent prayer

To the ones who came before us,

Who couldn’t make it there

And yes, the going’s treacherous

And yes, we must take care

But we’re going to the top

Because it’s there

Because it’s there

Because it’s there

Because we could

Because we should

Because we dare

Because it’s there

We’ll pack some flares

But we’re going to the bottom

Going to the top

Going to the stars

Because they’re there

Because they’re there

Because they’re there
