One Dark World
Kerry Livgren
The expanses beckon, the mystery still remains
Can we be the only ones in these vast domains
We search, we wonder, we listen and we peer
The more we define the distance the more we fear
The lights of the distant glories we cannot name
Demanding a sense of purpose we cannot claim
Where time has no meaning, our reason does not apply
Only the word of Creator can satisfy
(Chorus)
Here we are in a world so far away
Floating home, through the void we roam,
And drift astray (and still we pray)
We hang suspended, we rise and then we fall
Just one of an endless array, this terrestrial ball
But for one brief moment, this earth was the center stage
For just on moment, the jewel of the age
(Chorus)
Away, we drift away...
