First Light

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

A 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 heros

Cause heros 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 s 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 hell

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
