Space is a funny thing
You want it when you're feeling sufficated
But when you have it,
It's like a void that needs to be filled
Space is everywhere but no where
Despite the 7 billion people on this planet, you can feel so lonely

Space is a funny thing
In the universe we are one tiny spec of importance which is filled with billions of importance
Yet as one, we feel insignificant
At night we see the stars shine so bright together
But on their own they're so dim
Stars long for darkness so they're able to shine
Their only hope of being noticed is in the chilling night sky

We are like stars
Believing the only time we will be noticed and helped
Is in a time of darkness
That on our own, we feel we are of little importance
But like stars, if one didn't shine, as a whole the world wouldn't be as bright

Space is a funny thing
Everyone wants it, but fears it
Everyone is the word of reassurance
That we're not alone in how we feel
Get through the darkness and you'll find a space to shine
