Eeeeah ...
Now paint a way to think we're the only ones that exist
This beautiful planet that races through space and time as we stand still
Yet, we're not still
There's something out there
Something bigger, better, stronger
There's something out there, I know we're not alone
Yeah ... we're not alone [x5]
Look up to the stars, the answers are there
But, why do we ask ourselves when will spirits dwell amongst us
They're here already I can feel their danse in a starry night
A sea of life dwells as their spirits fly
Then I know, we're not alone
We're not alone
Yeah ... we're not alone [in the background]
And there's the great wall
They all seem to be gravitating towards it
It's not some nebula ... it's not ... It's just a mass cluster of stars
It's a great wall far far away from every galaxy you can ever imagine
It .... there's no end to it
And I know there's something out there
It's not just us
