I'm alive
inside this prison cell;
on this ship, I look
out to find
what I remember.
Light-years passing by
outside my window in the night.
Out in the starlight
my mind starts to
wander through the
cosmic divide.
Wading through
star fields and
tumbling past planets,
I soar through these skies
on my wings made of chains.
My body is restrained,
but my heart reaches for you.
In my mind
I am on my way to you.
Never really wondering how
I'll make it through.
Somewhere, out among the stars,
you'll be waiting.
Galaxies
are ever changing.
Feeling the silence breathing,
I think aloud,
"Where are you now?"
Choking on stale and dank
recycled air, I can now
feel artificial gravity
crush me.
Like some kind of dream,
I think about what it could mean.
If in an instant,
my life became
nothing more than
what they should need.
Wading through
star fields and
tumbling past planets,
I soar through these skies
on my wings made of chains.
My body is restrained,
but my heart reaches for you.
In my mind
I am on my way to you.
Never really wondering how
I'll make it through.
Somewhere, out among the stars,
you'll be waiting.
Galaxies
are ever changing
us.
