about

A song about space travel.

lyrics

You’re the last to arrive
The other five are already here
Did you find the time
To make your goodbyes clear?

Making a break for it now
Trying for the mountain top
Nothing in your life till now
Has prepared you for this shock

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
We’re going to see it through
See through to silver blue

Perched on a powder keg of dust
That's going to make us fly high
Keeping an eye on the clock
And a lid on the butterflies
Counting down from T minus 5
To that great unwinding spring
Gravity makes me feel alive
Soaring up on new wings

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
We’re going to see it through
See through to silver blue

<spoken> Out atoms were forged inside the stars
Like the salmon swimming upstream
Like the geese flying north
We are drawn to whence we came

Look out on your starboard side
At this spinning blue-white ball
Open up your mind’s eye
Try to absorb it all
There is only now and its real
What matters is you're here
If you can find your mind free
You’re past that last frontier

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
But we’re going to see it through
See through to deeper blue

They say its going to take a long time
Its going to take a long time
But we’re going to get to know
Get to know the Indigo…
