I Wanna Be Lyrics by Joey Richter

The SPACE Tour

2012

[JOEY]
I wanna be
A Starship Ranger
I wanna have
The things they've got
I could be
A Starship Ranger
But there's just one little...
Thing they are...
I'm not
[BRIAN]
All of my life I've pictured them out there
Keeping the peace in outer space
I may not be up there with 'em
But I've got what it takes
I've got a hunger and thirst for adventure
I wanna travel the galaxy
The future is now, so I don't see how
The time isn't right for me
[MEREDITH]
And I'll admit
It's all in my head
But who says it can't be real?
I may be far away
But I can safely say
It doesn't change the way I feel
[DYLAN]
I wanna be
A Starship Ranger
Even if it might sound strange
Maybe now
I'm not a Ranger
But all of that is right about to change
(spoken)
What's up, New York City?
[LAUREN]
All of your life you've had your head stuck
Up in the gaseous atmosphere
Don't forget that dirt is solid
And clouds can disappear
When you're an insect, you have a purpose
Like it or not, from a fly to a flea
Need I remind you, leave that stuff behind
So you can find what yours can be?
[JAIME]
'Cause the needs
Of the many bugs
Outweigh the few
And everybody knows
It's just the way it goes
And there's nothing you can do
[JOE]
You wanna be
A Starship Ranger?
Discover worlds far and near
Who gives a crap about Starship Rangers?
The greatest life to live is found right here
[DYLAN, spoken]
Let's go!
[ENSEMBLE]
Dirt eater!
Exoskeleton polisher!
I wanna build honeycombs!
The bug that ruins your picnic!
A fly on the wall!
We've all got a job to do
And it's how we all survive
By giving our lives to the hive
'Cause the needs
Of the many bugs...
They outweigh the few
I know today's the day (Today's the day)
I will find what I'm meant to do
[LAUREN]
The queen will surely see I'm not like anyone else
[JOE]
She'll take one look and know my rightful calling
[DYLAN]
She'll understand that I just can't be
Living my life for the hive
And I can finally
[ENSEMBLE]
Finally
[DLYAN]
Know what it's like to be alive...
[ENSEMBLE]
I wanna be something that can
Serve the greater good of our race
I'll do whatever I can
To make our world a better place
[JOEY]
If only I could get to outer space!
I wanna be a Starship Ranger
It doesn't matter at all where I'm from
So look out, Starship Rangers
'Cause here I am...
[ENSEMBLE]
Here I am
[JOEY]
And here I come!
[ENSEMBLE]
Dirt eater!
Exoskeleton polisher!
I wanna build honeycombs!
The bug that ruins your picnic!
[ALL]
It's all I wanna be!
