 So he heads out for the stars

 Past the moon and straight to Mars

 But what about the in - visible scars

That come in a bottle that his daddy brings home.

Some people act like some people,

So why can't we all see
  FF         C majorC
The only antidote, the only way to cope

The only true hope is . . lo - ve.
  DmDm
So everybody won't you.

 Back to how it was before
