LOOK UP

Look up What do you see? The stars of your future The stars of my past The cycle of night On its spinning wheel Oh Sister Sky Oh Father Space Oh brother Unknown Why must it be Mother Earth who watches over us?

Deep in space A battle of ages Balls of fire clash with warrior of the night Galaxies of anger collide Stars go supernova Adding to nebulas of blood As black holes eat the sky Will this war ever end? Or is it the battle of eternity?

This battle overhead Proves our insignificance In the movements of the Universe I long to escape the limits that bind us Don’t you? Don’t you wish to be free? Don’t you wish to unlock the secrets of the night? But space will always have its mysteries of darkness
