faster than the speed of light

faster than the speed of light
between the stars and out of sight
from here to there and in between
are we awake or in a dream?

it seems we left so long ago
or so we think but do not know
we came, we saw, we left again
all is changing yet the same

journey through a plasma haze
on and on for days and days
between the stars and out of sight
faster than the speed of light

the Solar System disappears
Centaurus growing as it nears
Proxima, Alpha, Beta too
passing by and in our view

Sirius brightens, it's our goal
Nommo where the oceans roll
orbiting a small red star
why we've traveled from so far

coming in from space to land
to breathe its air and just to stand
by its warm and pleasant sea
caught once more by gravity

faster than the speed of light
finally we end our flight
Nommo's like a pleasure dome
Nommo feels like our true home
