Moon Race

Moon Race 

I’m from a land in a distant place
Way past Neptune into distant space
My father bit the apple in forgetfulness
And then I fell through the crimson nebulae
Into the earth with the human race

So we reach for stars or try to be one
Live off light from the prodigal sun
But there’s no holy trinity
That can keep me together
And God; there’s only One

Has the moon reached its stations yet?
Have the trumpets from space been blown?
Did you recall or did you forget?
That this world has never been your home.

So we outgrow all that we know
In search for truth in this summer snow
And as the rainbow splits the light into six plus one
Seven nations beneath the gold

We must unite for our souls to glow
To return to the land in a distant place
So before the moon hits the finish line
And trumpets blow
Let’s make the most of this Human race.
