From the first gray light of the morning I've been gone 
On my journey towards the stars 
Will I know when I reach the other side 
The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming 
Now I'm on my way 
Tainted shadows fall like rain 

Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on 
The origin of existence lies somewhere far far beyond 
I feel unattached tranquility
hand from the heavens guiding me 
And wondering where this path will lead

In a dream I'm lost and 
Floating through the atmosphere 
Searchig for significance against
Infinity eternity 
I've been taken by the vast and
Humbled by the weight of what I've seen 

You know they called for heroes 
'Cause heroes carry on 
In know the world is fading 
So from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone 

Now I pray for a better life 
For all the ones I love 
We search beyond our reach 
And turn our gaze above

I hope that it's the way 
To fill our basic needs 
And my sacrifice not vain
And I'll return again

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass 
As I pass beyond the god of war 
Distant voices hear them crying out 
I must seek out new worlds and explore
 
And I know that there just must be a place 
(We will carry on)
Where our children can be free from the pain 
(The human race)
It must be somewhere out in space

The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass 
As I pass beyond the god of war 
Distant voices hear them crying out 
I must seek out new worlds and explore 
And I know that there must be a place 
It must be somewhere out in space

Silver moonbeams relfect the sun 
Martian Landscapes worlds beyond 
I touch down with no trace 
No sign of life on this place

Now I feel a surge of energy 
The deepest passion burns in me 
Somwhere there is a world not left to die
The stars will shine their light down unto me 
(Illuminating)
The stars will shine their light and I will see 
(Will I find my way?)
 
So back to the darkness I fly 
In search of a hope in the sky 
I should have known right from the start
I'll not return home

It seems so surreal as I go
The knowlesdge of science alone
Can't save all the people I know
That I've left behind

The sun I know is growing smaller 
I drift for days on endless hours 
And what's there to fear now! 
No messages are getting through
I fall into the black abyss of night 
I'm gone

The pioneering spirit charges the unkown 
Accept the consequence of risk 
I'm all alone here 
Don't know if I'll return and
The fate of life is on my heart

I left a dying world behind 
On my way oh 
Where is our oasis in the sky 
The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind 
Now I see there's no
Heaven bound oasis in the sky 
Only dreams

I've got no destination 
Helpless I drift on
The weight of silence
How it's eating at my soul

And yet I sense a stirring 
Something so spiritual
I wonder if the fate of mankind 
Is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all

I left a dying world behind 
On my way only 
God can stop the spiral down to [bad word] The future of our race

I left a poisoned world behind 
Now I see only 
Heaven's the oasis in the sky 
It's my dream
