Floating in the darkness
Staring at the stars
Walking through the quiet
Not getting very far
Hearing for the first time
What the world can say
Flying with my own thoughts
Worries held at bay
I'll see you when you return
Is what I thought you'd say
Don't believe it's happening
Think I'll just enjoy
This vision of the heavens
Like when I was a boy
Looking down on people
A hundred miles above
Praying to my own god
Surrounded here in love
My mind is very free now
The way that it should be
Not tied to any anchor
Just drifting out to sea
Waiting all my lifetime
For a memory to be free
Lost in my surroundings
What a state of bliss
Time so insequential
Seeing deep within
Not hiding who I am
No reason for a grin
Knowing all about me
A path to lead the way
Knowing all the secrets
This leg of my own journey
Is coming to an end
This day of taking tallies
When counting is my friend
Finding out the measure
Of everybody's worth
The sum of all we fear
This, I can say
