[A Soul Worth Saving] [ Verse 1 ] Twelve worlds are burning in a rain of nuclear fire, We flee through the ashes as the stakes are climbing higher. In the Admiral’s quarters sits a wooden sailing ship, While the fate of the species is tightening in our grip. [ Pre-Chorus 1 ] The fleet is a shadow on a sea of deep black, There’s no turning home and there’s no looking back. [ Chorus 1 ] Survival’s the choice that we make through every day, To keep the fire breathing as the light fades away. We carry the weight of the choices we make, For every single heart and the breath that we take. [ Verse 2 ] A haunting old melody hums through the metal hull, While Baltar sees visions in a mind never dull. The lady in red whispers secrets into his ear, As the thrum of the engines masks the sound of our fear. [ Pre-Chorus 2 ] Are we bound by a script or the power of will? The stars are all silent while the engine stands still. [ Chorus 2 ] It isn't just the living that we’re trying to keep, But the secrets we guard while the universe sleeps. If we’re more than the blood and the bone in the rain, Then a purpose is found in the center of pain. [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Interlude] [ Bridge 1 ] In Kara’s old room where the silence is deep, Her hand-painted Mandala’s a promise she’ll keep. The colors are swirling in a circle of fate, While we hammer our fists on the heavenly gate. [ Verse 3 ] We landed on soil where the prophets said we’d stand, But the radiation poisoned every inch of the land. The original Earth is a graveyard of stone, Leaving fifty thousand wanderers lost and alone. [ Pre-Chorus 3 ] The scriptures were broken by the dust and the gray, And the light of our spirit started fading away. [ Chorus 3 ] When the road that you followed leads only to ash, And the dreams of the future come down with a crash. You pick up the pieces and you stand on your feet, ‘Cause the end of the line isn’t where we retreat. [ Bridge 2 ] On a green rolling hillside where the air is so sweet, Adama sits quiet as his journey’s complete. Laura closes her eyes and she lets out a sigh, As he watches the birds in a primitive sky. [ Verse 4 ] We jumped to the sun and we let the metal go, With octagonal logs of the things that we know. No more computers and no more machines, Just the grass and the water and the life of our dreams. [ Pre-Chorus 4 ] The cycle is broken or it starts once again, A peaceful goodbye to the struggle of men. [ Final Chorus ] We found what was worth all the years of the chase, Not a throne in the stars but a warm, quiet place. To find a soul worth saving is the reason we fly, Underneath the wide blue of a brand-new sky. [ Outro ] All has happened before, it will happen once more, As we walk from the ships to the edge of the shore. The horizon is open, the story is through, Starting over again in the wild and the blue.
