Ayreon - Newborn Race

Текст песни

There must be a way to enrich our lives.
A way to awaken a nation that dies.
There must be a way to revive our past.
A way to break free from a world that won’t last.
Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began
There must be a way to reverse history
A way to resume life, return to the sea
There must be a way to win back what we lost.
A way to escape this, whatever the cost
Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began
Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
Seed the world with a newborn race
We have no choice
Life is passing us by
We should rejoice
I say we should try
Every million cycles
shooting stars rip our sky.
We could divert them
on the day they pass us by.
And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!)
Hmmm…
Do we have the right to create life?
And do we have the right to take it? Yeah
Can we decide who lives and dies?
Do you think they would even make it
We have no choice, life is passing us by
We all plant our seeds
And guide them to their goal
We cannot fail
We have absolute control
And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!)
Hmmm…
Do we have the right to play gods?
I strongly feel I have to make a stance
Do you think we should take the odds? Yeah.
Would they even stand chance?
I don’t think they ever will.
Ever will…
No…
Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began
Take us back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take us back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began
Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began
Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
We should rejoice!
Seed the world with a newborn race
I say we should try
Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place (do we have the rights?!)
Enter a brand new phase
Seed the world with a newborn race (we cannot fail!)
We found a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken the nation that’s died
