Light years

In a world that’s expanding
In a life so demanding we must learn to be
Shaping new realities
The horizon is changing
A universe rearranging what was once believed
What we can dream can be achieved

And despite my darkest fears
I want to live a thousand years
I want to be here when we come of age

We can ride a beam of light
We can watch the stars collide
But the future lies inside us every day
And the world goes passing by
In the blinking of an eye
And we’re still light years away

While the stars are conceiving
Best and brightest achieving chances for mankind
To lose our faith and gain our minds

And despite our deepest fears
The answer lies in new frontiers
To boldly show where we could all go someday

We can ride a beam of light
We can watch the stars collide
But the future lies inside us every day
And the world goes passing by
In the blinking of an eye
And we’re still light years away

Smoke and gunfire finally clearing
Might no longer making right
Flags and borders disappearing
All would see the light

We can ride a beam of light
We can watch the stars collide
But the future lies inside us every day
And the world goes passing by
In the blinking of an eye
And we’re still light years away
Ride a beam of light
We can watch the stars collide
But the future lies inside us every day
And the world goes passing by
In the blinking of an eye
And we’re still light years away

So close to gaining ground
But the clock is winding down
And we’re still light years away
