lyrics

Cross the glistening sands
Eon-etched ocean of time
’Neath guardian rock and regolith
Something is dreaming
It knows the depths and darkness
And it knows what lies above
The winds that whirl the dust of ages
It ponders life and love

Of what does it dream
In its cold and empty world?
Where does it find its wonders
Its visions to behold?
Will it find the answers
Its plots and fantasies?
Of what does it dream?
It dreams of thou and thee.

Prepare the instruments
To probe this entity
Heed the directed protocols
Observe with dignity
Care not to impose bias
Our wishes and our fears
Something dreams a message
Let us strive to hear

Yet what does it dream
What fate does it portend?
What power in its thoughts
To embrace or to defend?
Could it be a danger
Red menace come at last?
Or is it just a dreamer
Evoking a golden past?

Silently appearing, high above this world
Reaching out inquisitively my senses are unfurled
Dancing joyous, floating free
Impulse comes to bind myself to thee

Alone I emerge
As the stars provide
Outward facing emptiness
In depths my soul resides

Detecting shapes and shadows
The scientists theorize
Outlines form beginnings
Thoughts upon the skies
Standing waves arising
Our buffers overrun
A narrative is forming
The story has begun

What does it dream?
What does it dream?
What does it dream?

The sun and the moon
The land and the sea
Yin and yang
Thou and thee
Adam and Eve
Low and high
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky
That’s you and me, baby
This I will testify
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky
You and me baby
Me oh my
Loners to lovers
Planet and Sky
