Ayreon - Back On Planet Earth

I overheard the elders
telling each other stories
about the days when they were young
back on planet earth

I wish to learn the secrets
of those who lived before me
so I program my computer
for a flight to planet earth

Blue skies over the oceans
sail on the wind to the valley below
rise high over the hills
to where the wildflowers grow

And I ride ride ride
the waves of time
fly fly fly beyond the sky

We've abandoned all emotions
whether good or bad
up here in this station
far from planet earth

I can't tell if I'm happy
I don't know if I'm sad
but I do know I'd have been at home
back on planet earth

Black clouds over the debris
storm is raging over the land
no life left on this planet
now you will understand
