Trappist 1D (A Space Shanty) by Ben Corbin published on 2021-07-29T21:53:21Z Parody of Rolling Down to Old Maui Lyrics: [Chorus] Cause we’re bound for Trappist-1D, from Sol, flying out to Trappist-1D On a rocket hurled to an Earth-like world, now we’re bound for Trappist-1D [Verse 1] Our planet’s dead and so we fled that poisoned atmosphere We never learned and our home world burned just like many of us feared We built this ship to save humankind from our own misguided deeds And now we roam to find a new home, on our way to Trappist 1D [Verse 2] We wander free in a star-filled sea, to planet not well known Our best space eyes couldn’t quite surmise whether it can be our new home Thirty-nine light years from our toils and fears, and we don’t really know what we’ll see A world so great or a deadly fate? What awaits us on Trappist 1-D? [Verse 3] The error bars on this brown dwarf star make it hard to see what it’s worth We’re safe out here on this Ark so dear, we’re better out here than on Earth But if we can’t settle on this exoplanet, what fate is in store for me? We’d start anew, but with options few, hope it works on Trappist 1-D [Verse 4] For many years we’ve been stuck in here and our children will be too Can we all survive, maybe grow and thrive, or will we meet our doom? Is there life on there, or is it just bare, are the dinosaurs, whales, or trees? We hope and pray we’ll settle one day on the world called Trappist 1-D Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
