lyrics

50 years of laborious toil
A giant ark in space to be
Our one way journey to begin
Our dying sun about to flee
No choice of our own making
Some chose to stay behind
Saying "die on earth or die in space
What difference shall we find?"

Packed our bags our food and loved ones
Made our place on board a sea
Of corridors and rooms that stretch
A deep and wide eternity
To leave our Earth our home our lives
For another star so far away
Our hope for us is us to find
A land of hope where we can stay

No sooner had we left our home
The solar flares began to roam
upon Earth's deathly atmosphere
The scorching winds of fate enthrone
We cried and cried that fateful night
Knowing our escape was sealed
Now brighter than the brightest light
Godspeed us to a place concealed

The first year of our flight had flown
Our crew worked day and night alone
Another four and we'd be done
Another star, our host, our sun
(All instruments in)
What would we find when we arrive?
A restful Island in the sky?
A place to lay our heads to rest?
Shall we have lived to pass the test?

Perhaps we can wind back the clock
Travel back in time to a safer spot
Relativity is a dangerous plot
But who are we to say?
