So far away from home

Beyond a distant reach

Faint whispers from the edge

Returning piece by piece

A lonely point of light

Captured in a final glance

A solitary hint of life

Discovered if by chance

Spineless cowards

And fearless warriors

Our blood-filled rivers fueled by hate

We worship heroes, kings and saints

All you will ever know

All life that ever was

All you despise or love

Living out their lives

This isolated speck

Hurling through the cosmic dark

Would seem to go astray

If we were washed away

Knowledge seekers

And bold explorers

All on this place we call our home

Adrift in space, we're on our own
