lyrics

I wake up in the morning and look out the portal
at the starry darkness
on the way to Acturus
I can see Procyon and the dog star shining

home, oh just get me home,
I am sick of Tang and dehydrated lunches
and the electrocardiogram

so far away
so far away
so far away

in this three-dimensional
space-time meat vehicle
traveling towards the light,
there go the events of my life
and the love I’ve gathered with me through it all
is bigger than a universe, a planet
or a hospital

so far away
so far away
I hear it say
you’re on your way
you’re on your way

You’re closer now
you are the one
you’re getting strong
you’ll pass the sun
don’t be afraid
your heart is true
the planets turn
and wave you through
you’re closer now
you are the one
you’re getting strong
you’ll pass the sun
the speed of love
a ray of light...
