lyrics

FOLDING MY WAY TO THE MOON
(Words and Music - Robert Childs)

If I had a piece of paper
And folded it 40 times
It'd stretch past the moon
What an incredible climb
A simple piece of paper
Just think of the money we'd save
Such a simple solution
In this high technology space age

Chorus
Folding my way to the moon
Folding my way to the moon
I could try for the stars in the sky
But my ambitions never reach that high
Give me a cool and starless night
On some natural satellite
I could sing off key
And play almost in tune
Folding my way to the moon


I've seen other planets
Other worlds and asteroids
I can't pretend I know them all
But some of them I'd avoid
On some it's what you own
Others it's what you seem
I just do whatever I can
And dream my possible dream

Chorus

Some people find excuses
Recriminations and regrets
But the world still spins around
And the sun still sets

So I take a piece of paper
And try another rhyme
Pluck up another melody
And store them up for folding time
If you never try it
You'll never know what it's like
To be a paper mountaineer
Having the fold of your life

Chorus
