They said, ''We need someone to leave this earth.
You won't come back forever.''
So I Packed my bags and I called
To tell them I, I wanna go.
****
They asked, ''Are you sufficiently self aware
To render these thoughts as genuine words?''
So I left them with one last thought,
To picture me as nothing I'm not.
****
It's no wonder why I've gone too far.
I found this place, but it's not mine.
And I'm a long lost key to the dark.
I'm not too far from the start.

And I'm a long shot hope for this world.
I'll let it go. Let me go.
And I will be whatever you need.
I'll learn it all. You will see.

And I'm sufficiently self aware
To render these thoughts as genuine words.

And I was gone for seven whole years,
But I hadn't left, not quite yet.
Yeah, we were training all of that time.
I learned so much, but not enough.
****
It came time to launch away,
Say goodbye to this place.
It was the last time I would see Earth,
But my gaze wasn't there.
****
Realizing what I had done
Too far out to go back.
I'm glad I jumped out into the dark,
The answers weren't behind us.

And now I have a new family,
Until I die it's what we'll be.
And they will surely be sending more,
But it's nice to be first.

And we have come so far to get here.
No words suffice to describe.
