The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If ships were made to sail
Out through the star clouds
It'll be the world of somewhere
All greed and fair
And I would go to Alpha Centauri
And I would be a living there
If I could fall up long night, reach the time gone
Then touch him infernity
I'd find a forest hill and clean fresh air
If I could go to Alpha Centauri
Then I would be a living there
