Eternity I do sleep,
A silence broken only by a computerized beep.
A tin can, flying alone.
High above that blue ball.
It's my home.
And I hear it's call.

For three millenia, I've not seen day,
Cause flight control passed away.
Naw my home town has dissappeared.
The vegitation reclaimed my home.
Long ago the dust of war cleared,
But still I sleep all alone.

My computer crys out to a dead master,
As we are hurled from Venus.
She starts the engines to send us faster,
As I am curled up like a fetus.
She's had enough, we're going home!
As I sleep all alone.

We hit the atmosphere like a titanium stone,
A red hot streak in the nights sky.
As she works all alone,
Making calculations on the fly.
And I sleep on my way home.
We may not make it, but we have to try.

A wandering tribe praises my ship,
As in my sleep I do moan.
I bring a smile to the mississippi king's lips,
As I get my first glimpse of my ruined home.
My ship lands, ending my celestial trip.
And I awake from my sleep, truely alone.

If everyone was smart,
And everyone was rich,
And everyone was sane,
And humanity had won it's game,
I just would not be able
To give up my ancient fight.
I've fought for light,
I've fought for life,
I've fought for death,
I've crossed the world,
I've crossed the wastes,
I've fought for the most barren place,
And I will fight for the right side,
Maybe.

I know the rights,
I know the wrongs,
Why does humanity,
Just bend itself out of shape?
For a paper or a book,
Or a teacher or a God,
Or a mirror and a Dog that are in the end all the same?

Can we touch the sky all alone?
No. I don't think were home.
We haven't even passed the door,
Into the next great age.

Why was it I was built for a great task,
That never came to pass?
How long can I last?
Maybe I'll truly live at last.
Even thou I'm all alone.
An abandoned man who left his home,
And a goal that never came to be.
A broken man without destiny.
Thus I am touched by my insanity.
