From the recording Hybrid - LP6
Just like explorers who discovered the New World and other parts of earth and space, there are always those who are ready to go that extra step and risk everything to find new worlds - wherever they may be. This example is an extreme one - but the Moon landings in their time were as far fetched as this is now
Lyrics
It’s time to leave
It’s impossible
To come back
Can’t turn around
Can’t hesitate
Have no choice
Engines engage
Noise is deafening
Ten – nine – eight
Leave it to fate
Seven – six - five
Stay alive
Don’t know
Can’t imagine
Working all my life
For this. Nothing can stop
This moment
Start of the journey
The outer limits
For the first time
I am an explorer
The human mission
Six – five – four
Moments pass in a flash
Three – two -one
Liftoff
The beginning
And the end
I have left so many times
Not always because I wanted to
Life, jobs, family, circumstances
You take something with you
And leave something behind
But I know that I will stay
No way back
Quieter now, overwhelming
Earth getting smaller
Why am I doing this?
Would have been easier
To stay at home.
But everyday dies in the end
So why not here
Take-off countdown over
Time will go slow
Confined in this place
Time to sleep
Wake up in the future
For the real beginning
Will there be anyone left to hear?
Will it make a difference?
For a while everyone will know my name
Then I will be forgotten
Know my name
Then forgotten
Know my name
