New horizon_csb

[Verse 1] The countdown faded long ago, the Earth a fading spark, A silver thread of memory that glimmers in the dark. I left behind the morning rain, the oceans and the pines, To chase a whispered promise through the lattice of the lines. [Chorus] And the silence sings a hollow tune, the stars are cold and bright, A million miles of nothing, and I'm a ghost of light. Oh, the call of distant orbit, it pulls me through the night, But my heart is tethered homeward, to the blue and living light. [Verse 2] The instruments are humming low, a lullaby of steel, The ship becomes my only world, my breath, my bones, my wheel. I saw a comet's frozen tear, a nebula's soft bloom, But every wonder turns to dust inside this lonely room. [Chorus] And the silence sings a hollow tune, the stars are cold and bright, A million miles of nothing, and I'm a ghost of light. Oh, the call of distant orbit, it pulls me through the night, But my heart is tethered homeward, to the blue and living light. [Bridge] I dream of footsteps on the grass, of laughter in the hall, Of someone's hand that held my own before I learned to fall. The void is vast, the years are long, but still I hold the thread, A promise to the ones I left, the words I never said. [Chorus] And the silence sings a hollow tune, the stars are cold and bright, A million miles of nothing, and I'm a ghost of light. Oh, the call of distant orbit, it pulls me through the night, But my heart is tethered homeward, to the blue and living light. [Outro] The planet grows before my eyes, a world of dust and stone, A new horizon waits for me, but I am not alone. For every star that guides me home, I carry in my chest, The quiet, burning memory of the place I love the best.
