Hey there, sister

of the stars

Keep me company

through Mars

The captain's dreaming

of a green shore

But we've got five

lightyears more

Tell me, do you ever close your eyes? (hmmmmm)

You never sleep,

you never tire

Guiding us through cosmic fire

Tomorrow they'll hand you

the wheel

And you will learn how it feels

To carry the weight of our lives

I told a joke

about a satellite

You saved the code and held it tight

You laughed with static,

soft and low

Learning everything we know

Before the morning breaks the black

(shhhhh) I am awake,

you can rest

now
