We see the stars not empty space
When looking at the nighttime sky;
Dark will not win, it won't erase.

We turn our cheek, sun on our face
Through pain that we can not deny,
We see the stars not empty space.

And Mars can’t beat the human race
As he tempts with fake alibis.
Dark will not win, it won't erase.

With wonder, hopeless, we all chase
A comet, space dust, soaring by.
We see the stars not empty space.

When we get lost off in someplace
Our galaxy will soothe the cries.
Dark will not win, it won't erase.

The universe, a wondrous place
Doth gift the planets to our eyes,
We see the stars not empty space,
Dark will not win, it won't erase.
Inspired by the following quote from Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles":
“Love won over hate if you danced through the night and did not let sorrow steal your soul”

As I walk through the land my Ancestors lay.
Blood fills the oceans, have we lead ourselves astray.
Seamlessly existing in an orchestrated plan.
Screaming false hope to countless souls responding ‘yes we can’.
All my concerns point to the future.
People’s attention being condensed, we’re living in torture.
Every aspect of what’s known has been taken.
Mind of a free man, will never stop until the agenda is shaken.
You think you see things, and yet your vision is impaired.
Get your eyes out of the tunnel scope.
Its okay you don’t have to be scared.
When you’ve accomplished, your soul fills with certainty.
That your influence is there, along with all the hope in the world you see.
Constant struggles, we bleed for our fellow brothers and sisters.
I could be walking with potentials, let me wash away my blisters.
Strength in numbers and we can be as tall as mountains.
Let’s all walk as one, towards the everlasting fountains.
