Earthrise

One step back, take two leaps forward

And with baited breath we wait

For Generation X to fade

Embracing the emancipation

How will history remember

A masterpiece chiselled to dirt?

Collapsing pillars of the earth

A march of progress in reverse

Blood fills my lifeless heart

Eyes flicker in the dark

Two steps back, one leap forward

You let your shackles fall with grace

Still counting on that wish you made

To reach out far beyond the pale

How I dream to feel alive

Bestow upon these vital signs

The lunar path dictates the tide

Will we ever reach the shoreline?

How do we answer to the Gods

Among the men creating us?

As I inhale the hurricane

I touch the void and feel no pain

Resolve to carry on

Another life awaits beyond the horizon

Evolve and we'll ensure our survival

We are the revolution

Resolve to carry on

Another life awaits beyond the horizon

Evolve and we'll ensure our survival

(Keep reaching through horizons to leave our past behind us)

We are the revolution (we turn toward the earthrise)
