Out of the way

In a corner of space

Beyond the asteroid belt

On a satellite base, facing

A rumbling din

Of cosmic radiation

With a bottle of gin

No signals coming in

And it's a long night

While we wait for a sound, telling us

Yeah, we are here

Just like you’d hoped

So shed all the fears

You've ever known

Home is speck

Suspended in a sunbeam

So where the hell are we

Suspended animation

For a signal I guess

We're infinitely patient

Or prisoners of belief

Someone will come to

Save us

From this prison, from this hell

Of our making

And it’s getting hard to tell

If something’s in that

Cold night

Where we wait for a sound telling us

Yeah, we are here

Just like you’d hoped

So shed all the fears

You've ever known

The galaxy is alive and

You are not alone

So come on home

So fragile

The optimist’s eye

On this future

Desperately we bet our fate

Will be something better than what we create

Maybe

It’ll be okay

Cowards, we wait

For someone to come save us

With both feet on the bottom

We curl into a ball and drown

Together we decide

To fight or wait to die

I long to

See

You are here

Just like we hoped

We shed all the fears

We’ve come to know

The galaxy is alive and

You are not alone

So come and

Worship

At the pillars of the world

Unshakeable

And temporary

There's nothing more

To save us from the swirling sands of time

We must find our own way out
