Ad Astra (Ponte/Chávarri) 2007

You saw me trying,
But now I've got to make it double
Every time you choose.
I don't think there is a problem,
But the more you get
The more you want me to.

You saw me flying,
But now there is no height enough
To make you blink your eyes.
Even when we reached the moon
You just had to say,
"Are we returning soon?"

"I don't want to go."
"I don't like the show."
"I don't need to know."
"I don't want to stay."
"I'm not going to say."

You saw me waiting,
But now there is no time
In your agenda for my blues.
Every single breath I take
Seems to bother you
And lets your anger loose.

"Will you wait for me?"
"Won't you pay the bill?"
"Offer me a seat!"
"Oh, don't talk to me!"
"Why are you still here?"

You're not a Rolling Stone,
You cannot write a song,
You're not in Rock and Roll,
What are you waiting for?

Discover new frontiers,
Make a brand new career,
Become a pioneer!
A new life on your own.
Why don't you join the force?

You're not an engineer,
You don't know cube from sphere,
You can't tell tears from fears,
What are you waiting for?

You sign up for ten years,
A wilful volunteer,
We'll share the cheers and beers,
Now get into the ship,
The stars await your trip!
