The Year I Spent In Space
Journey Through Chaos: The Year I Spent In Space
Lyrics
I’m alone like the boy in the bubble
I feel isolated, like the boy living in a bubble.
This world is in so much trouble
Expressing concern about the troubled state of the world.
Say a prayer for the little ones
A plea for prayers for the innocence of children.
They don’t know what’s coming
Children are unaware of impending difficulties.
The year I spent in space, that look upon your face
Reflecting on a past year spent in isolation in space.
And all around this world I was flying
Describing a sense of global movement while in space.
The year I spent in space, always standing in one place
Feeling stationary despite the movement around the world.
And everywhere I looked people were crying
Observing widespread sorrow in people's faces.
The screens were on but I was alone
Being physically alone despite screens being on.
Had to picture you touching me softly
Imagining a comforting touch from a loved one.
Out on the street everyone was masked up
Observing people wearing masks on the street.
Couldn’t tell if they were smiling or writhing
Difficulty discerning genuine emotions due to masks.
The year I spent in space, that look upon your face
Repeating the impact of the year spent in space on emotions.
Wishing I could hold you in my arms
Expressing a longing to hold a loved one.
The year I spent in space, we were falling far from grace
Reflecting on a fall from grace as a society.
Wondering where this world went wrong
Questioning the trajectory of the world's development.
Just like that boy in the bubble
Comparing oneself to the isolated boy in the bubble.
This world is in so much trouble
Reiterating concern for the troubled state of the world.
Light a candle for the front line workers
Encouraging a gesture of support for frontline workers.
For they have seen so much worse for us
Acknowledging the challenging experiences of frontline workers.
Aah, aah, Aah, aah
Musical interlude.
The year I spent in space, that look upon your face
Revisiting the emotional impact of the year spent in space.
All around this world I was flying
Recalling the sense of global movement while in space.
The year I spent in space, always stranded in one place
Feeling stuck in one place despite the global movement.
And everywhere I looked people were dying
Witnessing widespread loss of life around the world.
The year I spent in space . . .
Continuation of the emotional impact of the year in space.
The year I spent in space, I was gone without a trace
Emphasizing the absence, being gone without a trace.
And everyone was running from the Rona
People avoiding the virus (Rona) during the pandemic.
And when it’s over I will rejoice with a hug
Expressing a desire for joy and physical connection after the pandemic.
To everyone I said that I loved
Anticipating a joyful reunion with loved ones.
And we’ll go dancing on the streets until the sun come up
Imagining celebrating freedom by dancing in the streets.
Be it on the beach or by the boulevard, ah ha, ah ha
Describing potential locations for celebration.
I’m alone like the boy in the bubble
Reiterating the feeling of isolation, like the boy in the bubble.
This world is in so much trouble
Reiterating concern for the troubled state of the world.
Say a prayer for the little ones
A plea for prayers for the innocence of children.
For they don’t know what they have coming
Children are unaware of impending difficulties.
No they don’t know what they have coming
Reiteration that children are unaware of what lies ahead.
