Lyrics

Man May Go To Mars


Man may go to Mars
Fire can light the sky
Our eyes search out the stars
To find the reason why

But the bird it needs no reason to fly
Needs only the sky and the air
And the light of the Sun shines on every one
All over this world that we share

When the ice it melts
When the waters rise
Lines drawn in the sand
Wash away on the rising tide

When we come to the end. When we?re starting again
When we look up at the stars
When there?s no need to pretend. No walls to defend
It?s then that we know who we are

(Interlude)

No sign of life on Mars
In its skies no sign of rain
A land marked hard with scars
And hearts they scar the same

But in our world rivers run. Sunflowers still follow the sun
And the bird sings her song the sky
No words to her song. She sings for every one
When we hear like the Sun our hearts rise

(Instrumental)

And a heart it has no need to ask why
When we hold out our hand
When we open our eyes. When we hear people cry
It?s then, that?s when we understand

Some day the day may come
And Love will light the way
When deed and word are one
When we believe in what we say

But there?s something that we all want to know
How much further to go till we?re there
The road is hard and it?s long, but the heart beat is strong
Like Wings. Like the Sun. Like a Prayer

(Interlude)

Don?t say we?ve come this far
Only to lose the way
For word it may be done
When we believe in what we say

But like the bird Love needs no reason to fly
Our hearts reach for the sky. Take us there
We see far when we?re high. So just let that bird fly
She knows and she?s showing us where

Man may go to Mars
