Flight from Terra

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
