My little astroman You float through the empty A tiny white Against a giant blue, A beautiful diamond in an infinite black It is free It is alive It is wonderful It is Earth
However...
My little astroman, Utterly alone With no one by your side Sit and watch As the world Burns
In an instant With blinding brilliance A once Beautiful diamond Has become grey coal For this gem is marked with fury and fire
The world blazes, itβs charred throat too burnt to scream Itβs eyes to seared too see
My little astroman You know you will never go back Never see the red Nor feel the green Never hear the birds Nor taste the air
...you reach out...
My little astroman no longer do you have a home My little astroman, Now, do you float alone
