Entering Space Lyrics

The engines roar the countdown's near

I'm leaving Earth I shed a tear

A distant red my destined star

The journey's long the journey's far

I see the Earth she's growing small

A blue-green gem that holds us all

Will she be there in thirty years?

Or lost to time consumed by fears?

I'm flying high to a world unknown

But in my heart I'm not alone

The Earth behind the stars ahead

But will I find a home instead?

My son so small I left behind

In thirty years who will I find?

A stranger's face a distant name

Will he recall or think me lame?

I'm flying high to a world unknown

But in my heart I'm not alone

The Earth behind the stars ahead

But will I find a home instead?

The weight of time it crushes me

What will I find across the sea?

A barren rock or life anew?

The answers hide in deepest blue

I'm flying high to a world unknown

But in my heart I'm not alone

The Earth behind the stars ahead

But will I find a home instead?

And as I drift through endless space

I see his eyes I see his face

Will he remember who I am?

Or just a tale of distant lands?

I'm flying high to a world unknown

But in my heart I'm not alone

The Earth behind the stars ahead

But will I find a home instead?

So here I go with hopes and fears

Across the void through all the years

But deep inside I hold one dream

To find my way to Earth's bright gleam
