Among Stars

In a long-distant future
Removed from the woes of today
In which we’ve shed our burdens
And our mental restraints
When again we are free
To pursue our dreams
With our evolution reclaimed
Our pioneer spirit
Draws us upwards again
To explore terra nova
On distant globes
Questing strange ground
Light years away
Our essence unbound
Civilising anew
Once more what we are
Building glistening cities
Among the stars
