You're waiting for the moment
When you call the sky your own
And soar among your galaxies
To the planet you call home
Your eyes are filled with stardust
And your palms are full of dreams
But the asteroid you're standing on
Is ripping at your seams
The constellations sing;
They tease your soul with their musique
The comets dance right past your face
Their tails brushing your cheek
But no matter how you stretch
You just can't touch that distant star
And what you cannot see, my dear
Is it's really not that far
The chill of space is energizing;
Awakens like a winter day
But wild dolphins trapped in tanks
Simply are not meant to stay
To reach the star that calls to you
You really must let go
For that rock is just as suffocating
As a vicious undertow
There are planets full of promise
With the song of waterfalls
Where gravity doesn't hold you down
It just keeps you standing tall
The lack of air is stifling
On that barren rock you stand
So steel yourself and feel the freedom
Waiting in my outstretched hand
