If today was the day you could repeat
What changes would you make?
What is all that would you keep?
I may not have completely thought this through
Could it be better to
Let my life drift and float by?
Maybe it's time to fold on this hand
On these trials
On this data
We made a constellation from
All our efforts
We'll keep on dreaming
Go Sputnik
Thrust forward
With no fear of the world below
All expectations placed on you
Yet you fulfilled them all
I'll set off with the same prayer
With your name etched in my heart
I forever know
Of what you have shown
Reality can come from dreams
My watch counts down the moment I take off
Weak radio waves are lost
Alone I'll be aloft
This gripping pain derived from loneliness
How do people not miss
A location so distant?
My heart tries to keep up the distance
Parallel to
The speed of light
Yet blinded by my analyses
What is up ahead
I cannot see
Go
Sputnik
Blast toward a place
That I can only hope to reach
Tear through space time
But you must keep in mind
The force of gravity
This melody
Means not a thing
To those now deaf from the roar
Their engines burning
Leaves me longing
For the strength to turn mine on
