I woke today, shining suns and cosmic rays
With a smile I navigate
To a place I can relate
Its been 10 years that Ive been gone
Among the asteroids I've roamed
Searching for a home

Left all I've known
Kissed my babies, now they're grown
Yeah that's relativity
I'm not as young as I first seem
But out here in the great unknown, I've finally found out what it means to be alone

Engines at full speed
Just the supplies I need
No extra weight from all the things I got, lost in my greed

Called my launch suicide,
No one who said it tried,
To bring me to that distant world free of my pride

Chilled to the bone
Not so bad out here alone
Pushing buttons
turning dials
Flying light years, not just miles

WooOoohoo...

As far away from earth as I can roam

Vast horizons
Autopilot is no fun
Rather lost in space today
Than somewhere I hate and just stay
You could have been out here with me
In the anti gravity...
But you just can't break free...
