lyrics

Voyager

Well I tasted a kiss on my first lover’s lips
But like all things the moment can’t last
And the seconds and thirds are just scraps for the birds
The newness is doomed to the past

And you’re nearing the end at the dying of winds
And you know now there’s no turning back
But the vastness so sheer makes it perfectly clear
There’s so much that we don’t know we lack

So godspeed to you, oh Voyager
Go now and throw wide the door
For somewhere out there must lie answers to share
Please find what we’re searching for

I was nine years from birth when you hurtled from earth
To undertake this heavenly trek
And now 35 on and several billion miles gone
I come to pay my respect

Cause well who would have thought that the knowledge you sought
Would make us feel so small
But now that it's nigh, oh it makes me want to cry
Accepting the scope of it all

So godspeed to you oh Voyager
Please give us something to see
Somewhere in the dark past our system of stars
Find us a reason to be
