through the endless time of space.
Circling the warmth of all birth,
the brightest light to our embrace.

On a perception the earth is round,
Columbus sailed the deep blue sea.
Riding an endless merry-go-round,
at sixty-six thousand miles hourly.

Discovering a majestic land of freedom,
to add among the painted carousel horses.
Countries sharing this one global system,
while evil rulers trash the liberty of bridges.

Star beams of the past dot the night sky,
glittering in the lusting eyes of Cleopatra.
A history of light sailing toward Gemini,
alien eyes witnessing an ancient stigmata.

Here we are amongst the points of light,
riding this global carousel into the future.
Perceived as a creature infested satellite,
rudimentary to the unknown astronomer.

Sailing on a vessel named earth,
through the endless time of space.
Circling the warmth of all birth,
the brightest light to our embrace.

On a perception the earth is round,
Columbus sailed the deep blue sea.
Riding an endless merry-go-round,
at sixty-six thousand miles hourly.

Discovering a majestic land of freedom,
to add among the painted carousel horses.
Countries sharing this one global system,
while evil rulers trash the liberty of bridges.

Star beams of the past dot the night sky,
glittering in the lusting eyes of Cleopatra.
A history of light sailing toward Gemini,
alien eyes witnessing an ancient stigmata.

Here we are amongst the points of light,
riding this global carousel into the future.
Perceived as a creature infested satellite,
rudimentary to the unknown astronomer.
