Lyrics
Verse 1
A scientific miracle
Emphatically empirical
A Mystical and spiritual
Child of Space
An interstellar
Spaceship dwelling
Far flying, fast, compelling
Desperate attempt
To save the human race
Chorus 1
I'm just a Space Boy
No, I'm not a man
Our Universe is infinite
I can't understand
I'm just a Space Boy
With the mind of a child
My reasoning is limited
Conditions defiled
I'm just a Space Boy
But I'm nobody's son
A creation of the Science Age
A billion to one
I'm just a Space Boy
Out here on my own
I'm traveling the galaxies
In search of a home
Verse 2
An accidental rarity
A hope of new prosperity
For all of man's posterity
'Til the end of time
A carbon fiber, soul surviving
Product of a single-minded
Effort to rescue the state
Of Humankind
Chorus 2
I'm just a Space Boy
No, I'm not a man
Our Universe is infinite
I can't understand
I'm just a Space Boy
With the mind of a child
My reasoning is limited
Conditions defiled
I'm just a Space Boy
But I'm nobody's son
A creation of the Science Age
A billion to one
I'm just a Space Boy
Out here on my own
I'm traveling the galaxies
In search of a home
Bridge
They didn't realize
You can't create a mind
Of any humankind
With knowledge intact
We need experience
To gain some common sense
Without it violence
Is how we react
Chorus 3
I'm just a Space Boy
No, I'm not a man
Our Universe is infinite
You don't understand
I'm just a Space Boy
With the mind of a child
Forced to make decisions
Over trillions of miles
I'm just a Space Boy
Yes, I'm nobody's son
Why should I care if man be spared
From what they have done
I'm just a Space Boy
Out here on my own
Exploited by the human race
And left all alone
