A Greater Call

We leave
Upward, toward new dreams
A new hope, an odyssey
Underneath
The world left behind is dying
As we escape gravity

Closing my eyes
And I embrace darkness
The stars will not guide us
But their light will show us the way

We are not conquerors
We float with the tide

No room for fear
A greater call
A sacrifice for the benefit of all
With the sun at our backs
We heed and we bleed

This is the first step
To reach the infinite
What lies ahead is unknown
It’s a quest for survival
Past all known frontiers
