Distant Light

[Intro: cosmic choir, radio static]
(ground control... ooh-ah)

[Verse 1: floating melodic rap]
I've got green grass underneath my feet
People in my arms who make life sweet
But every night another planet glows
A million little places I won't go
(far-far, far away)

[Pre-Chorus: rising celestial harmonies]
I love the gravity of home
But dream of worlds I'll never know

[Chorus: soaring octave leaps]
There's a moon I never landed on
A thousand skies I'll never wake upon
My world is beautiful and bright
But I'm in love with distant light
(ah-ah, beyond the blue!)
How do I stop reaching for the stars
When everything I need is where we are?

[Drop: weightless vocal chops, 808 glide]
(launch-launch, stay-stay!)
(ooh-ee-ah, ah-ee-ah!)

[Bridge: breathy falsetto]
If I could live a thousand years
Would I run out of atmospheres?
Or would each world become a home
With one more moon beyond its glow?

[Outro: radio fading]
Earth is beautiful...
I still look up.
