All races finally united
A few of each: men, women, child
On our way to some place new
These new chances, a new life
We’re leaving, destroyed homelands
Empty dead oceans, polluted seas
The earth survived millennia, millennia without mankind
But mankind took a minute and ruined it all
We went and left no life behind
Doesn’t she seem small?
Chorus:
Now we’re on a Flight from Terra
On a search for fertile land
The future’s in our captain's hands
Brutal sun burns down the sky
The water raced above our heads
Hope, faith, new earth
Search between the stars, between planets
The world’s children sought under the sun
Another world, another chance to
Live your life and make the same mistakes again
Repeat chorus
--- instrumental break ---
Off voice:
The brutal sun burns down our sky
The water raised way above our heads
Do you really expect someone else to make it right
Are you ready for take-off, now?
We’re leaving destroyed home lands
Empty dead oceans and polluted seas
The earth survived millennia, millennia without mankind
But mankind took a minute and ruined it all
We went and left no life behind
Doesn’t she seem small?
Now we’re on a Flight from Terra
On a search for fertile land
The future’s in our captain's hands
