Story Behind The Song
This is part of an ongoing "song-a-day" project. Each weekday I compose and record a song and post it on my website. I read the featured article of the day on wikipedia and write a song inspired by what I have read. This article was on Mars.

This song explores the emotional and phisical stamina that is necessary to be a space traveler. One day, when we colonize Mars, the people that we send will have a lot of fears to overcome. In the end the will prevail over their fears because they feel

Lyrics
To colonize the little red planet in the sky
We'd have to leave our lives behind
To compromise the apprehension of our eyes
We'd have our bodies go insane
Though we are fearful it is righteous that we try
The earth ain't dead yet but some day it's gonna die
No matter how hard we try
To keep it alive
Fourth planet from the sun
Home of the highest mountain
Known in the so so solar system
I'm gonna climb it some day
I'm gonna climb it some day
Won't nothing get in my way (4X)
To colonize the little red planet in the sky
Though we are fearful it is righteous that we try
The earth ain't dead yet but some day it's gonna die
No matter how hard we try
We'd have our bodies go insane
