Go to the Moon
by Geoff Moore, The Distance

Album: A Place To Stand

Ah, yeah

In a fast food restaurant, not long ago
Somewhere in central Ohio
I came across a table of five or six boys
They were just being rowdy, making lots of noise
Until one said, hey, I got a question for you
If we nuked Russia
Where would you go, what would you do?
Another one said, I think I've got the solution
You see, my friends, the answer lies in seclusion

You get your friends and family
You gather up some food
Pack 'em in a rocket and you...

Go to the moon
Leave this place behind
Go to the moon
To live with your own kind
Go to the moon
Come back some other time
Go to the moon

Hey!

Now as I heard those boys talking, it reminded me
Of a conversation I had more recently
This guy was sayin', hey
There's something I want you to know
I'm a Christian from a Christian home
I'm in a Christian club, a Christian school
Got a Christian code to phone
And if people don't like it
They can just leave me alone
You say he's afraid
The world is rubbing off of him
When all this time I thought
We should be rubbing off of them

Just get your friends and family
Gather up some food
Pack them in a rocket
'Cause you might as well...

Go to the moon
Leave this place behind
Go to the moon
To live with your own kind
Go to the moon
Come back some other time
Go to the moon

Go to the moon
And wait for the end of time
Go to the moon
Leave the sick to die
Go to the moon
Get yourself some peace of mind
Go to the moon

Mission control says now's the time
One small step towards your fellow man
Is one giant leap for mankind

Well, now before this little story
Comes to a close
There's just a thing or two
I'd like you to know
I believe in fellowship, in brotherhood
And accountability
And that believer to believer
Can be encouraging
But if the salt is gonna season
Shine the light in darkened runes
Don't hide among the chosen
We cannot...

Go to the moon
Leave this place behind
Go to the moon
To live with your own kind
Go to the moon
Come back some other time
Go to the moon

Go to the moon
Where you'll be safe and sound
Go to the moon
To live on that lunar ground
Go to the moon
Go to the moon

Go to the moon
Why don't you go already
Go to the moon
Oh, take me there
Go to the moon
Get yourself some peace of mind
Go to the moon
