(We’ve) always defined ourselves by the ability
to overcome the impossible
The Earth’s our treasure but it’s been telling us
to leave for a while now
So we’re leaving
We used to look up in the sky
and wonder at our place in the stars
Now we just look down and worry
about our place in the dirt, oh baby
Take a look at that pale blue dot
On it everyone you know and love
Every human who ever was
The only home we’ve ever known
It’s game over now
We must find a way to survive
So we’re leaving
We used to look up in the sky
and wonder at our place in the stars
Now we just look down and worry
about our place in the dirt, oh baby
We used to look up in the sky
and wonder at our place in the stars
Now we just look down and worry
about our place in the dirt, oh baby

When you’re feeling down and blue
I would bring it back to new
With my diamond shield I’ll cover you
‘Cause that is what a girl like me would do
Let me be your Wonder Woman
Tonight, and all nights
Let me be your Wonder Woman
Tonight, and all nights
With this shield I did cover you
From all the troubles in your way
And with this shield I tried to protect you
Even though your greatest enemy was you
Couldn’t be your Wonder Woman
Tonight or any night
Couldn’t be your Wonder Woman
Tonight or any night
Even with this diamond shield
And even with this sword I wield
I could never really protect you
From the darkness that you carry within
I won’t be your Wonder Woman
I won’t be your Wonder Woman
I won’t be your Wonder Woman
I won’t be your Wonder Woman

The moment has arrived
We’re getting ready
To leave it all behind
We’re moving away from Earth
My heart is breaking
Will I ever see you again?
I wonder if everything will be all right
‘Cause I can not forget, they let us down
We’re setting controls to move
Towards the unknown
Approaching the speed of light
Exoplanets and binary stars
we don’t know what awaits
Will these worlds resemble our’s?
Will we know where to start?
I wonder if everything will be all right
‘Cause I can not forget, they let us down
What ever was perhaps never will be again
Now it’s all up to us to save mankind
I wonder if everything will be all right
‘Cause I can not forget, they let us down
What ever was perhaps never will be again
Now it’s all up to us to save mankind

We are on our way to build a better world my love
and I wish we didn’t have to but there’s nothing left for us now
We’re getting ready to leave the solar system
We’ll commence a gravitational slingshot
Come on let’s give it all we’ve got
Here we go, we are surfing the rings of Saturn
No one knows if we’ll make the turn
or if we’ll crash and
Burn, break up like Cassini
The point of no return
We need to keep a firm hand on
all our controls
All of a sudden everything starts shaking violently
We are being pulled into his sphere
and as we approach he shows us his aurora
Is this our last goodbye?
We will only get one try
Here we go, we are surfing the rings of Saturn
No one knows if we’ll make the turn
or if we’ll crash and
Burn, break up like Cassini
The point of no return
We need to keep a firm hand on
all our controls
Here we go, we are surfing the rings of Saturn
No one knows if we’ll make the turn
or if we’ll crash and
Burn, break up like Cassini
The point of no return
We need to keep a firm hand on
all our controls

The universe could not save us from ourselves
so we set out as the few that were willing to evolve
instead of being infants crying in a deep dark forest
We make our through the great silence
when universe should be filled with a choir of cosmic voices.
Surely they have heard us
But no one is coming
Isolation
as we sail into the void
Silence and darkness
What if we’re alone?
What if there’s nothing out there for us?
A dead end, what if we are the last few of our kind?
No one can come for us now
We are on our own
Maybe the aliens keep quiet
Maybe they don’t want to be found so they are in hiding
Maybe they have seen how
we annihilate ourselves
Life may be rare in the universe
It may be too fragile to survive for long
but somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be found
Isolation
as we sail into the void
Silence and darkness
What if we’re alone?
What if there’s nothing out there for us?
A dead end, what if we are the last few of our kind?
No one can come for us now
We are on our own

New Star

We’ve traveled for so long that I’ve stopped counting the days
I miss the grass, fresh air, the sunbeams on my face
But most of all I miss the ocean
Gliding silently through interstellar space
The course is already laid, the hyperdrive engaged
Far ahead a brave new world awaits us
And because of all this we can never go back home again
All the lies the deceit, all our memories stained by their betrayal
And as we’re passing comets and watching nebulas from a far
We are steadily steering humanity towards what will be our new star
Today I woke up to an empty bed
You’d already gone to work to earn your daily bread
(To) play your part in this human endeavor
There are no days or nights aboard this vessel
So we just keep calm and carry on, my love
With the hope of finding something better
So now we will try to pick up all the pieces
the ruins they left behind them, baby
And because of all this we can never go back home again
All the lies the deceit, all our memories stained by their betrayal
And as we’re passing comets and watching nebulas from a far
We are steadily steering humanity towards what will be our new star

We set sails so long ago
A journey across the stars to get to here
Oh, it’s been years
(We’ve) prepared for this all our lives
To boldly go where no one’s gone before
We were born ready
As we approach the Goldilocks zone
I can feel the tension in my bones
Switching the main engines off
Initiating the braking sequence now
We’re slowing down
We’re passing strange new worlds
as we’re nearing what will be the first
off-world colony
Now we approach the Goldilocks zone
I can feel the tension in my bones
Don’t let us down
We’ve traveled for so long
In search of a new place to call home
A giant leap for mankind
We come in peace to Kepler 452b
We’ve been through thick and thin
and I’m so happy to have you by my side
You’re the apple of my eye
I don’t know what we’ll find
But I know that everything will be all right
‘cause we’re here together
Now we approach the Goldilocks zone
I can feel the tension in my bones
Don’t let us down
We’ve traveled for so long
In search of a new place to call home
A giant leap for mankind
We come in peace to Kepler 452b

- Commencing final approach
- Altitude 50 000 feet
- 40 000
- 30 000
- 20 000
- Breaking through the clouds now
- This is incredible!
- I can see lush green forests
- Rolling hills
- A vast ocean!
- This looks just like home!
- Like Earth!!
- We’re home!
We are the ones who made it out alive
We had our future taken away
by greed, and hunger for power and wealth
We’re carrying the fire, we’re the children
We are the last generation, but the first
to start building better worlds
We’re the salt of the earth
Salt of the earth
