Towards the Stars

I look to the skies, searching for answers
The Sun warms my face, while life rushes by
I close my eyes and ask myself
Have I done my part, or am I just a burden?
Pollution and deforestation, the price to pay
The Earth cries out, and nature will rise up
Climate change, an echo of the past
The bill is coming, we can't ignore it
As the sea advances and the cities will succumb
The ships cut through the skies, in search of a new future
With 8 billion souls, who will make it?
Towards the stars, or will it be the end of existence?
In the space race, nations will launch
New colonial bases, but will they find them?
A new hostile home, starting from scratch
With the weight of greed, it will be a sad exile
Ships invaded, sabotaging them is cruel
Those who remain face the fury of the sky
A God help us echoes in the crowd
Every man for himself, in the solitude of affliction

While the sea advances and the cities will succumb
The ships cut through the skies, in search of a new future
With 8 billion souls, who will make it?
Towards the stars, or will it be the end of existence?

I mentally pray, for those who remain
That their lives not be sacrificed in vain
If greed persists, the cycle will repeat itself
Another planet, another story, but will we learn?

While the sea advances and the cities will succumb
The ships cut through the skies, in search of a new future
With 8 billion souls, who will make it?
Towards the stars, or will it be the end of existence?

I look to the heavens, with hope and fear
May the lesson of the Earth, bring us a new love
In the new home we seek, may we reflect
Preserve what is sacred, never to destroy again
