(Chorus:)
Mae Jemison had a dream
To see the earth from afar
Her parents said her dream could come true
and she would fly among the stars
When Mae was a kid, she looked at the moon
And imagined outer space
When she talked of being an astronaut
A smile lit up her face
(Chorus)
Mae told her class about her big dreams
But the other kids just laughed
Her teacher said she should be a nurse
But Mae would find her own path
(Chorus)
She learned math and science, as she grew up
She ignored those who said “no”
She became a doctor and an astronaut
‘Till it was her turn to go
(Chorus)
On the space shuttle, a NASA astronaut
She made history in ‘92
Out in the stars, looking back at Earth
Her dream had finally come true!
(Chorus)
