Recovery Mission

Well it's been rough here
Since the episode
The day still echoes in adobe
Hushed tones still abide in each abode

Jupiter rises beyond the valleys of the moon
Tears spit out from the universal eye
And our collective heart becomes a spittoon

They found water on mars
Not much but surely substantial
About a pound of frozen tears worth
And as such was purely circumstantial

Now rain driplets wiggle the landscape
Seems to offer its own escape
Survivinf in this place
Living and loving
Right here at home in outer space

She's working hard now
In the room's confines
Her windows are her eyes
And the stories the headlines

Drop by drop the rain commiserates
Step by step the whole town celebrates

And each step by step
Whatever it takes
Surviving this place
Living and loving
Right here at home in outer space
Living and loving in outer space
