There's So Much Energy in Us

A million years it's been, since the search began Still can't find it, still can't find it The fuel is nearly spent, check the maps again Can't let go of it, can't let go of it And now the crew is cold and drunk on chemicals Can't believe in it, can't believe in it And I heard the captain say, and I heard the captain say "We're so close to it, so very close to it We still have energy in us" We feel our hearts break as the engines fade Still need to find it, still need to find it So we took the written words of our philosophers And built a fire from it, let's get those engines lit We took the church's veil and built a mighty sail To carry forth this ship, but we're still losing it And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say "We're so close to it, so very close to it We still have energy in us" The mission's over now, and my breath is running out Can't let go of it, can't let go of it I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean what I said I love you more than this, I love you more than this Then lights, they fill the air, or were they always there? I finally see it, I finally see it And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say "You're always close to it, so very close to it" There's so much energy in us There's so much energy in us There's so much energy in us There's so much energy in us
