Adding Up the Wasted Hours

The stars are shining bright through his window

So much for good rest, he's not sleeping

So he steps outside for some fresh air

To breathe again?

Staring out into infinite space

This earth and it's billions of people

Can't help feel we're all on our own here?

Is someone there?

Across the stars and moons afar

Something speaks to me deep inside

Says I'm not the only one

Wishing upon the moon tonight

I could sail away from this

Start again with peace in mind

If I could, I leave this all behind

And all of this weighs heavy on my mind

Hear my plea tonight

So he crawls back into his warm bed

There he dreams a prophetic vision

A starship and it's sailors flying towards

The Northern Cross

Across the stars and moons afar

Something speaks to me deep inside

Says I'm not the only one

Wishing upon the moons tonight

I could sail away from this

Start again with peace in mind

If I could, I leave this all behind
