The Earth looks small from up here
Blue like a memory, sharp and clear
Cities glow like fragile veins
All we loved inside those flames
I never knew how much it meant
Till distance taught me what was spent
What held me wasn't solid ground
It was the love I carry now
Floating home, I finally see
Home was never gravity
It's the names I still hold tight
In the dark, in borrowed light
Floating home, no solid ground
Still I know where I'm bound
Home is not where we've been
It's what we take when we ascend
Windows hum with quiet thought
Machines that learned what we forgot
To pause, to feel, to understand
How far we go with open hands
The past grows soft, not left behind
It drifts with me, redefined
Every orbit pulls me through
Still aligned with something true
Floating home, I finally see
Home was never gravity
It's the names I still hold tight
In the dark, in borrowed light
Floating home, no solid ground
Still I know where I'm bound
Home is not where we've been
It's what we take when we ascend
Mars is waiting, calm and wide
Not a place for us to hide
Just another mirror showing who
We become when fears fall through
Floating home, we don't escape
We expand our inner space
Every step beyond the known
Makes the universe feel close
Floating home, clear and slow
This is all I need to know
We don't lose what made us whole
We just learn to let it go
As the blue fades out of view
I feel closer than I knew
