Sense Field – One Small Step

we’re working so hard

building hives to keep us alive

always moving on

it’s the nature of the creature

out across the seas

and into space

we will pollinate the worlds

as yet unknown

building homes so that

we can roam the faces

of all the beautiful places

in shiny silver trailers

strapped in and looking for traces

there’s craters

filled with sand

and lakes down under the wasteland

in shiny silver trailers

they’ll all have similar faces

in the beautiful places

where a mind can wonder

and a man can wander

the wild blue yonder

the light beyond her

there’s something out there

so don’t you be scared

because it’s in all of us

and all of our religions

the scientists and teachers

looking for the unmoved mover

and when they have the dream

and find the genius gene

they built the great machines to take us home

to the distant stars

I know they’re far

it takes sunshine a long time to find

a nice place to stay

that’s just like ours
