Terraform

Randy Vanwarmer

Where will you go

When all the things you know have gone?

When all your anchors rust away

Will you hold on?

The mountain where you stand

Will crumble into sand

And you'll be washed away if you're not falling free

Falling free

I see a rising star

A planet torn apart by darkness, greed and war

We need to find a place to stand

Someplace with firmer ground

'Cause we'll be washed away if we're not falling free

I've got a ticket for a ship that sails an empty sea

I asked the stewardess to save a special place for me

A window seat where I can see

The world sink far beneath my feet

Uniformed military, friends and the family wave goodbye

Nobody knew, few people dreamed we would reach this high

I stood in line for best or worse

I had to be one of the very first to try

I feel the thrust, but only just hear the rocket's fire

Nobody speaks, there'll be so many weeks to be bored and tired

And finally when the journey's done

Guess where we are, dare anyone, not me

I walk down the street

People I see

They all look at me

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I wear something flash

People I pass

Come out en masse

Dressed just like me

'Cause I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

Prophets have said

We'll all be dead

I'm light years ahead

They won't catch me

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

Where will you go

When all the things you know have gone?

When all your anchors rust away

Will you hold on?

The mountain where you stand

Will crumble into sand

And you'll be washed away if you're not falling free

And finally when the journey's done

Guess where we are, dare anyone, not me

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century

I'm so 21st century
