The Astronaut
Exploring Solitude: The Astronaut's Journey Beyond Earth
Lyrics
In space you see an astronaut
In space, an astronaut is observed.
He's watching the earth go 'round the sun
He observes the Earth's orbit around the sun.
In his own little home
He resides in his own space, a unique environment.
That looks nothing like a home
This space doesn't resemble a typical home.
He found his peace
The astronaut has found tranquility or resolution.
We all know it as the unknown
We collectively recognize space as the unknown.
And he found his peace
The astronaut has discovered inner peace.
Now he's watching the earth go 'round
He continues to observe Earth's rotation.
In space you see an astronaut
Reiteration of an astronaut in space.
He's reading the letter he sent himself
He reads a letter sent from his previous location.
From his old address
The letter is from his old address.
With his own goodbyes to what he knew
The letter contains his goodbyes to familiar things.
And as he's reading he sheds a tear
While reading, he sheds a tear.
That no one will see
This emotional moment goes unnoticed by others.
As he's watching the earth go 'round
Simultaneously, he observes the Earth's rotation.
We all know it as the unknown
Collectively, we acknowledge space as the unknown.
And he found his peace
The astronaut has found inner peace.
Now he's watching the earth go 'round
He continues to witness Earth's rotation.
We all know it as the unknown
Reiteration of space being the unknown.
And he found his peace
The astronaut has found peace within.
Now he's watching the earth go 'round
He persists in observing Earth's rotation.
