lyrics

pull on our space suits
the engine running
lace up our moon boots
not looking back
the shadows climb
as we leave it all behind

we can't stay anymore
we've depleted every resource
three billion years of life on Earth
and now we're done

holding on
rocket launch
shoot across the sky
search for life tonight

we cut down all her trees
we didn't listen
left air that we can't breathe
the temperature of her oceans and seas
is rising steadily

we can't apologize
we should've listened
did we choose to be blind?
now our lives are on the line
we're out of time

holding on
rocket launch
shoot across the sky
search for life
soaring near the atmosphere
the future is unclear
search for life tonight

search for life tonight
take us in tonight
