A giant silver arrow speeds towards the stars
The falling rig reminds us they have gone
A time to wonder, with our feet set firmly in the clay
What sights some other sun may shine upon

The need to know
And the chance to try
The hope to find
The other side of the sky

To take the long journey leaving all behind
The thoughts that cross their minds would surely tell
Of lovin' arms they'll miss
And all those times at home
To new life – where to find in silver shell
The need to know
And the chance to try
The hope to find
The other side of the sky
