Into Orbit

From a remote place
Yet nearer than a thought
We bridge the time between the space
To witness your ascent
So small, so pure‚ so innocent
So powerful — undone
You might ask the oldest ones
But truth outlasts the Sun
Don’t give up your faith
Don’t give up your empathy
Don’t give up your love
Don’t give up your life
Never stop to ask why
Never stop to care
Never stop to look around
We implore in all despair
Look up‚ we’re down there now
This blue gem is your home
We’re orbiting all life
You never were alone
How human nature declines
On what it can detect
What mystery pervades a mystery
Is more than you’d expect
Don’t give up your faith
Don’t give up your empathy
Don’t give up your love
Don’t give up your life
Never stop to ask why
Never stop to care
Never stop to look around
We implore in all despair
