Faraway Home
copyright 1988 by Victor Compton

On the third of nine planets, 'round a warm, yellow sun
The great Starships lifted, and left, one by one.
On the breath of the infinite night they were blown,
And they never returned to their faraway home.

When  you've lived in low gravity all of your life;
When you've conquered the distance and caught up with light;
When you've gone far beyond all the Starfields you've known;
Pledge a moment in memory to your faraway home.

As you're approaching the edge of  the night,
And all of the Galaxies have faded from sight,
And your  hope is just a distant star on it's own
Remember those waiting on your faraway home.

Well, I grew from a seed that you left behind
And not only me, but all of mankind.
But we've lost our direction, now we burn alone,
Like a light in the window of your faraway home.
