lyrics

We picked destinations out past the land and beyond the reach of the sea.
Sailing together whatever the weather, our vessel could hold only three.
And lightning would tangle its fingers around us, trying to make us turn pale.
But we were intrepid, the future was ours so we smiled and took hold of the sails…


We went to see all of the things that you swore, said that you saw,
In the space beyond our own.
Leaving to find the things we’d heard of before, looking for more,
Than we thought that we had known.


So we left the horizon, sailed past Orion, hoping for Jupiter’s moon.
We said to each other we’d watch one another, for we wouldn’t be getting there soon.
But sleep overtook us; the sun overlooked us, leaving us cold and alone.
We weren’t disbanded, just lonely and stranded, far from the place we called home…


We went to see all of the things that you swore, said that you saw,
In the space beyond our own.
Leaving to find the things we’d heard of before, looking for more,
Than we thought that we had known.


Then silence absorbing the sounds of our calling, with desperate looks in our eyes.
We were starting to wonder, over and over if anyone could hear our cries.
Then a star in the distance offered assistance and the light gave us hope once again.
Too far to return, we hoped that we’d learn as we sailed towards our journey’s end…


We went to see all of the things that you swore, said that you saw,
In the space beyond our own.
Leaving to find the things we’d heard of before, looking for more,
Than we thought that we had known.
