Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very light.
Hide the moment from my eager eyes.
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see, can't be very whole.
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and
daughters that,
Knew the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed
ways.
Mother life, hold firmly on to me.
Catch my knowledge higher than the day.
Lose as much as only you can show.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What I don't know, I have never shared.
