Cancelled my last trip 'cause I've been there before
Not worth the effort to go down that long and winding road
No reverse for mistakes, it can't be undone
A leap of faith for man and we can't wait to exploit new grounds

When Mother Earth is on her knees
Black rain is falling over me
When all the music's dead and gone
The song of hope still lingers on
I know it seems unreal that life back here is just a memory

Take a look around
See the stars imploding, lights exploding
Look what I've found
It's a supernova, gate to Heaven
Take my hand, we're traveling at the speed of light

Got a ticket to nowhere, destination unknown
On a mission for the human race, new light, new life, a place called home
Catch the tail of the comet as it speed past the sun
Exit at a second black hole but our journey still has just begun

When Mother Earth is on her knees
Black rain is falling over me
When all the music's dead and gone
The song of hope still lingers on
I know it seems unreal that life back here is just a memory

Take a look around
See the stars imploding, lights exploding
Look what I've found
It's a supernova, gate to Heaven
Take my hand, we're traveling at the speed of light
