I sailed across the milky way.
and rode a rainbow home today.
The sprinkled stars waved their goodbye,
the Old Man Moon just winked his eye
and watched as I went flying by.
I skidded ‘round those seven rings
as angels dipped their snowy wings.
The clouds had scattered on their way
to catch the wind to run and play.
How came to be this magic road
that took me places never strode
and all the wonders it bestowed?
I skidded ‘round those seven rings
as angels dipped their snowy wings.
