With every passing day,
and with every morning sun,
I lift my eyes and mind,
to the new world that has just begun.
I am no longer afraid.
I am no longer alone.
This planet earth
makes me feel fine.
Although weightlessness cannot be found,
in space it is all around.
Mind can span worlds - sometimes time.
So let’s enjoy it – I feel fine.
Free as a bird soaring high.
Invisible as the air it needs.
When one’s mind is elsewhere,
who’s to say where life will lead?
Looking down to where you stand,
and higher than the trees,
see all around you,
and listen to the breeze
Many things can be told
and, as time goes by, other matters unfold.
So listen my friend, and don’t be afraid,
we cannot live forever, so live each day
