lyrics

Lost 'mongst mountains,
Ship dances on seas.
Cold; old father loves secrets.

Waves lead to unknown,
Survival's fierce fight.
Tired, need some sleep,
Heart stays awake.

Eyes close briefly,
Sudden warmth surrounds.
Sky changes hue,
Different color, different sun, mystery unfolds.

What is this?
I don't know.
Where are we?
Maybe Earth.
Are we safe? Where's the snow?
Are we lost?
Maybe not.

Land turns green,
Future ship appears.

Lights, engines - too early.
New people speak forgotten tongue.
Ask our origin, our kind,
Maps and past they seek.

Learn their language,
Share thoughts.
We'll meet again,
Hope for a good reason.

Waving goodbye,
Finding the way back uncertain.
Decisions left to fate.
Eyes close again,
Cold returns.

Dying, this story remains,
A reminder, not alone maybe,
Or maybe separated,
For a big secret to grow.
