Left Behind

The horizon goes on and on
Across the desert in unmapped space
The far reaches of nowhere
One soul in its vast embrace

We were searching for new worlds
They went away and no one returned
For all my hopes of discovery
Isolation is all I've earned

So I've wandered for many miles
Crossing these alien wind-swept plains
Stretching into forever
Will I ever see home again?

In my loneliest moments
The barren ground, it calls to me
Surrender now and be free again
Laid to rest where no one will see

I search the sky for a sign
Don't they realize
I am far, far away
Like a dream that's been left behind
Day after day, wait in vain
Losing hope again
Time after time I have cried
I've been left behind

Left behind so long ago
No one knows
Dust and time have buried my bones
Welcome home
