Spock's Beard - I Wouldn't Let It Go lyrics

I was just a boy A rough and restless child All skin and bones and thistles A tough weed growing wild Someday I'd be an astronaut And make my way up to Mars But I was like a monkey With my hand stuck in a jar I was holding on to something That I couldn't make my own At times it seemed so hopeless But I wouldn't let it go No I wouldn't let it go No I would not let it go Once I took a penny Placed it on the track When the freight train flattened it I couldn't change it back I was never lost In my little town But I remember hoping That someday I'd be found (chorus) (chorus)
