Astronaut

Leaving the world behind,
There it goes.
Growing smaller,
Seeing the lights in the distance
I put out in the past,
When my mind spun round,
And the sun stopped shining.
I'm floating in a spacesuit,
In a spaceship,
Avoiding contact with people,
I'm an astronaut,
Floating away from situations,
The world created.

Somewhere, somewhere out there,
In the great infinity,
Stands a man with a horse,
Grizzled as he goes,
And weeping,
And lonesome,
Looking for a new hope,
Looking for answers,
Like an astronaut,
Floating through the dark.
