Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever.
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Terra Firma
From the sweet breeze of our atmosphere,
Our ships all roar and rise.
Breaking away from Terra's grip,
Sailing to the skies.
...
Entering the realm of emptiness,
We look back to our birth.
Our homeworld shines below us,
The planet we call Earth.
...
The universe is calling us,
And we answer, one and all.
We stand committed to this journey,
None of us will fall.
...
From Sol's light we ride outwards,
Its wind fading at our backs.
We'll mark a path across the stars,
So our kin can follow tracks.
...
But as we sail into night,
We look back at our home.
The place that remains in our hearts,
While the galaxy we roam.
