Verse 1

Lack went out
To build a rocket ship
Just like he’d seen
But all he had
Was bottle caps
And cans and hopes and dreams
He had a big idea
And it could’ve stopped here
Those dreams lift off like NASA
Rockets blasting to the sky
But Houston we’ve got problems
’Cause lack opened up his eyes
He didn’t have the tools
But no lack’s not a fool

Chorus

What he don’t have
Won’t hold him back
Though it might be
What he needs
‘Cause he does have
Astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams
The more he sees
He’s not yet qualified
But what I know about lack
Is that he’ll get there
You just gotta give him time

Verse 2

Lack packed up his bags and
Took his dreams to Californ
He studied astrophysics
And how galaxies are formed
You might say that he’d arrived
But he wasn’t satisfied
‘Cause he had Armstrong dreams
Of playing putt-putt on the moon
But his bachelor pad was launching bad
And his rent was overdue
He longed for all the thrills
But he could barely pay his bills

Chorus

What he don’t have
Won’t hold him back
Though it might be
What he needs
‘Cause he does have
Astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams
The more he sees
He’s not yet qualified
But what I know about lack
Is that he’ll get there
You just gotta give him time

Verse 3

Lack looks out the window
As he’s racing past the sun
But his heart is grounded wondering
How he’ll raise the other one
After all that he had earned
He still had much to learn
But the limit of his name
Was the reason he was sure

Chorus

What he don’t have
Won’t hold him back
Though it might be
What he needs
‘Cause he does have
Astronomical creativity
And the more he dreams
The more he sees
He’s not yet qualified
But what I know about lack
Is that he’ll get there

Tag

But what I know about lack
Is that he’ll get there
You just gotta give him time
