Watch the Night Sky
V1
Three decades past, an alien came
Through the fearful cathode ray
A glimpse of another world
It can never be the same
Sleep fitfully, precious child
As the streetlight floods the room
Never dark enough to see the approach
Should they ever come!
Watch! Watch! Watch! The Night Sky!
Watch! Watch! Watch! The Night Sky!
V2
Two decades past, and nothing has changed
The old dream still alive
Look to fiction, look to fact
There are others who believe
Engineers draw up a plan
You volunteer to leave
Could a rocket travel all that way?
You have to explore!
V3
Ten years to go, and time it starts to bend
Orbiting a mighty sun
Hurled through the universe
On a collision course,
Crash into, crash into that distant star
Emerge on planet X
Face your greatest fear
