In many small circles ... few will take flight
never leaning afar .... to the left or the right
from the earths gravitation, they never will wonder
left to small things ever to ponder
but that one in a million, from earth to pull free
soaring thru space ...... alone, now be free
passing the planets at speed of sunlight
searching the heavens for another lost life
One who has dared to venture blue yonder
new skies to fly .... new cosmos to wonder
never returning ....... to shackles and bonds
this planet set free ..... forever are gone
give way of your ties, set free of your mind
look to the heavens .... new life yet to find
a spirit held tight and never set free
their eyes soon go blind .... with nothing to see
leave your small orbit ... of toil and strife
look to new skies, spread you wings ...... and take flight
