Lyrics
Of all the work that ever I've done
I worked it chasing my wildest dream
And of all the pain my toils did bring
At least it was to mostly me
And all I've lost for the goals of my life
The list is long with many falls
So fill to me the parting glass
Good luck, and God be with you all
Through all the toil that I've been through
My mental health couldn't take the strife
The FAA won't approve the meds
That I need to function in daily life
Through all the school I breezed through with ease
One final test that I'll never pass
So fill to me the parting glass
I won't be joining this astronaut class
Of all the cohorts that ever I've seen
None are better than the ones they chose
Of all the friendships that helped me through
Alas the road to my dream is closed
And since it falls onto my lot
That they shall fly, and I shall not
I'll watch them fly among the stars
Good luck, and God be with you all
Someone may shoot for the Moon and miss
Doesn't mean their life's work fell in vain
Someone may halt an arduous trek
We can pray they find their purpose again
And though the brave will travel to space
I can't join them in blissful freefall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good luck, and God be with you all
So fill to me the parting glass
I can't join any astronaut class
