Solar sailor, ship of dreams
Take me away.
Let me slide aboard,
Let me stow away.
Curled up in a small dark space
The ship is trembling,
Straining now against the binding of the harbour.
I feel the vibrations in my body;
Behind my closed eyes
I imagine how the children down below are screaming, jumping, waving -
I once was amongst them,
Screamed my heart out
As the slender, glorious beast of metal gold and crystal spark began to rise and lift,
Like dragon's hair
The bindings fall away, a dancing motion, sadness manifest,
They helplessly twist towards the stony ground
And then she storms the heavens,
Blinding beauty, flash of light, and she is gone -
The roaring hum of engines
Still remains inside our minds
And we are left behind, again.
Solar Sailor, ship of dreams,
take me away.
I am here, aboard at last?
Am I dreaming?
Am I lying on the hungry, rocky
desert soil, and am I
dying?
I feel the vibrations in my body;
I sense the engines,
Powering the golden ship through the dimensions.
