When we watched the spaceship
That exploded in our souls
The sound from its engines
Blew apart our world
You stood quietly by my side
As tears welled up in our eyes
And I knew in this moment the meaning of hope
And I knew the meaning of life
It's cosmic truth I know
I am the sea
I am the stars
We will never die
We’ll just change our forms
It's cosmic truth I know
When we heard the cranes call
That chilled us to the bone
The burnished waters mirror blue
Carried their wistful song
You sat quietly by my side
As the campfire embers died
And I knew in this moment the meaning of love
And I wasn’t afraid to die
