For his fatherland he once fought to be free.
Years have passed, he now sees, their new freedom's futility.
All alone, without his arms, for the world might never catch on,
He will seek another place to be.
And we're off to the worlds that let us breathe and be free.
And as I walk over the light,
The wind blows by and with it the scent of life.
And as I walk over the light,
I see a world - renewed and restored for life.
Entirely unbeknown to the world we've left behind
There's a way out of dark mazes and deceit.
As she walks across the land once familiar to her,
Valleys, hills, burial mounds, now echoing ancestors.
All alone, but with her dreams, since their world will never catch on,
She will seek another place to be.
And we're off to the worlds that let us breathe and be free.
And as I walk over the light,
The wind blows by and with it the scent of life.
And as I walk over the light,
I see a world - renewed and restored for life.
Across the land, beyond the hills,
There you'll find a sign that reads:
"Destination Space has been adjourned - for now".
