Our world is a terrible place 
There must be something better in space 
Or is just the time in which we live 
that has nothing good to give 
Let's grab a ship and blast away 
because I don't want to die here, I don't want to stay 

When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive 
We're going so fast 
we're leaving our past 
at the speed of light 
We'll be young when you are dead 
the future lies ahead 
at the speed of light 
Our goal is to find a new home 
There is a chance: we are not alone 
But if there is nothing to be found 
plan B/ß/2 is to turn around 
A year to us is a hundred to you 
When we're back everything will be new 

When I see the stars above I know that I'm alive 
I don't care what happens to me, because I know I'll survive 
We're going so fast 
we're leaving our past 
at the speed of light 
We'll be young when you are dead 
the future lies ahead 
at the speed of light
