i felt every ounce of change
every moment, every star
every single galaxy
i wonder if I will go far
this mad, mad reality
friends feel like the treasure
that some spend –
a lifetime searching for
no need for ‘x’ marks the spot
or a dive to the sea floor
they will guide me
as I head for the future
i felt every ounce of change
scared and excited
like I have found a new name
a new galaxy, a new star
an interstellar campaign
it’s time to live for the moment
it’s time to start again
