Our world is a terrible place There must be something better in space Or is just the time in which we live That has nothing good to give Let's grab a ship and blast away Because I don't want to die here, I don't want to stay When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive We're going so fast We're leaving our past At the speed of light We'll be young when you are dead The future lies ahead At the speed of light Our goal is to find a new home There is a chance: we are not alone But if there is nothing to be found Plan B is to turn around A year to us is a hundred to you When we're back everything will be new When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive I don't care what happens to me, because I know I'll survive We're going so fast We're leaving our past At the speed of light We'll be young when you are dead The future lies ahead At the speed of light
