From this height the oceans blur
Like memories we don't refer
Continents in fragile lines
Drawn by older kinds of time
Every border disappears
All our noise turns into years
What we chased, what we defended
Feels so small from where we're headed
Blue planet fade, don't slip away
You're the reason that we stayed
In every launch, in every flame
We carry you inside our names
Blue planet fade, soft and slow
You're the first thing that we know
Even when we leave the ground
You're the truth we circle round
Clouds like breath against the dark
A living, beating, fragile spark
All our futures start right there
Hanging quiet in the air
We don't leave to turn away
We leave to learn a better way
To see how rare, how thin, how bright
Is the home that made us light
Blue planet fade, don't slip away
You're the reason that we stayed
In every launch, in every flame
We carry you inside our names
Blue planet fade, soft and slow
You're the first thing that we know
Even when we leave the ground
You're the truth we circle round
Mars is red and wide and still
Waiting on our conscious will
If we reach that distant shore
Let us be who we were before
Blue planet fade, but never gone
You're the echo we move on
Through the dark, through zero G
You define who we will be
Blue planet fade, gentle blue
Every future leads to you
No escape, no turning free
Just a wider loyalty
As the light grows thin and pale
Love is what we won't exhale
