about

In this song, I wanted to ask the question, "We've reached Mars and established a base there, what now?". Perhaps more than a little bit inspired by how we, back here on Earth, tend to let the short term commercial benefits win over long term benefits of preservation and conservation.

lyrics

Staring out at this untouched land
Imagine what may come here
So take my hand
As we venture forth
The first of many more
That will be coming here
To share this world
But to what end
Will they come for knowledge or for gain...
So take my hand
And join my prayer
That we will make the right choices now...

Standing at the crossroads
With our eyes towards the future
And I wonder how it will be
In the end

Will they come and mine him dry?
Strip him bare just like they always do
Yeay, will they come to soil his lands?
Take away from him, all that he is
Or will they come to hear his words?
To listen to the stories he can tell
So take my hand
And join my prayer
That we will make the right choices now...

Standing at the crossroads ...
