The future learns

[Verse 1] We packed the glass and soil In a box of borrowed hope Lifted off with frozen hands And a map we barely know Red dust on the window Blue Earth fading small But we heard a future calling Through the metal and the thaw [Pre-Chorus] Mars is not a rumor It’s a door we kick open Venus is a furnace Still, we hold it and rework it Jupiter keeps turning With its moons in a line We can build a home up there If we climb it one more time [Chorus] Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter We plant the first real signs Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter And leave our names in light [Verse 2] On the plains by old Olympus We lay cables in the frost Grow a row of stubborn green Where every dream was once a cost Under clouds of sulfur rain We learn a patient art Heat the air, tune the water Make a world from a broken start [Pre-Chorus] Mars is not a rumor It’s a door we kick open Venus is a furnace Still, we hold it and rework it Jupiter keeps turning With its moons in a line We can build a home up there If we climb it one more time [Chorus] Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter We plant the first real signs Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter And leave our names in light [Bridge] Out past the storm bands Past the dark and the debris We were never made for staying We were made for finding keys So raise the dome and breathe in Let the old sky go Every world we touch is telling us We’re not alone [Final Chorus] Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter We plant the first real signs Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter And leave our names in light Mars, Venus, Jupiter Mars, Venus, Jupiter The future learns to rise
