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

Trappist 1D (A Space Shanty)
