From this height the oceans blur Like memories we don’t refer Continents in fragile lines Drawn by older kinds of time Every border disappears All our noise turns into years What we chased, what we defended Feels so small from where we’re headed Blue planet fade, don’t slip away You’re the reason that we stayed In every launch, in every flame We carry you inside our names Blue planet fade, soft and slow You’re the first thing that we know Even when we leave the ground You’re the truth we circle round Clouds like breath against the dark A living, beating, fragile spark All our futures start right there Hanging quiet in the air We don’t leave to turn away We leave to learn a better way To see how rare, how thin, how bright Is the home that made us light Blue planet fade, don’t slip away You’re the reason that we stayed In every launch, in every flame We carry you inside our names Blue planet fade, soft and slow You’re the first thing that we know Even when we leave the ground You’re the truth we circle round Mars is red and wide and still Waiting on our conscious will If we reach that distant shore Let us be who we were before Blue planet fade, but never gone You’re the echo we move on Through the dark, through zero G You define who we will be Blue planet fade, gentle blue Every future leads to you No escape, no turning free Just a wider loyalty As the light grows thin and pale Love is what we won’t exhale
