Please Forgive Us...

I hope you forgive us all.

This planet is better than it might seem.

We don’t deserve to take a fall.

In our hearts, we made a call

To have you land; to live out a dream…

I hope you forgive us all…

You came, and our leaders tried to stall,

Hide your message, and deny what it might mean…

We don’t deserve to take a fall.

With the press and their praise, the ball

Was in your court, fair and clean…

I hope you forgive us all.

But fear is our legacy. Worst of all,

We killed a light, a glorious beam…

You didn’t deserve to take a fall.

Now, in outer space, you plan our downfall,

And I say this here, to save what has been:

I hope you forgive us all.

We don’t deserve to take this fall.
