How Far is Mars?

How Far is Mars? – Chris Borgman

VERSE 1
come my dear and walk with me
take your father’s hand
there is something you should see
something wonderfully grand

look high above your head
way up to the stars
then she turned to me and said
how far is Mars?

how far is Mars?

VERSE 2
Honey, would you like to
pick a star to name
now draw your star to view
in a picture frame

all the lights above
in our galaxy
shine bright with love
setting souls free

setting you free

CHORUS
Daddy, won’t you count the stars with me tonight
won’t you count the stars with me
Daddy, won’t you count the stars with me, tell me
how far is Mars?

VERSE 3
please daddy will you answer
does God know I’m a dancer
will I go to heaven, or
am I too young at seven

my sweet girl, you will be
the brightest star for all to see
you’ll be dancing with the angels
never again to cry

finally knowing why

CHORUS
