Light Years

In a world that’s expanding

In a life so demanding we must learn to be

Shaping new realities

The horizon is changing

A universe rearranging what was once believed

What we can dream can be achieved

And despite my darkest fears

I want to live a thousand years

I want to be here when we come of age

We can ride a beam of light

We can watch the stars collide

But the future lies inside us every day

And the world goes passing by

In the blinking of an eye

And we’re still light years away

While the stars are conceiving

Best and brightest achieving chances for mankind

To lose our faith and gain our minds

And despite our deepest fears

The answer lies in new frontiers

To boldly show where we could all go someday

We can ride a beam of light

We can watch the stars collide

But the future lies inside us every day

And the world goes passing by

In the blinking of an eye

And we’re still light years away

Smoke and gunfire finally clearing

Might no longer making right

Flags and borders disappearing

All would see the light

We can ride a beam of light

We can watch the stars collide

But the future lies inside us every day

And the world goes passing by

In the blinking of an eye

And we’re still light years away

Ride a beam of light

We can watch the stars collide

But the future lies inside us every day

And the world goes passing by

In the blinking of an eye

And we’re still light years away

So close to gaining ground

But the clock is winding down

And we’re still light years away
