The Arrival: There’s So Much Energy in Us

A million years it's been, since the search began
Still can't find it. Still can't find it
The fuel is nearly spent. Check the maps again
Can't let go of it. Can't let go of it
Now the crew is cold and drunk on chemicals
Can't believe in it. Can't believe in it
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it
We still have energy in us."

We feel our hearts break as the engines fade
Still need to find it. Still need to find it
So we took the written words of our philosophers
And built a fire from it. Let's get those engines lit
We took the church's veil and built a mighty sail
To carry forth this ship. but we're still losing it
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
"We' re so close to it, so very close to it
We still have energy in us."

The mission's over now, and my breath is running out
Can't let go of it, can't let go of it
I didn't mean what I said, I didn't mean what I said
I love you more than this. I love you more than this
Then lights they fill the air, or were they always there?
I finally see it. I finally see it
And I heard the captain say, I heard the captain say
"You're always close to it, so very close to it."
There's so much energy in us
