Here we are
On this great exodus
Wandering through universe
Exploring universal desert
Examining desert hearts
Here we are
Camping with deserted souls
Trekking across this great expanse
Reaching out to gods
Breaching perimeters
Stretching parameters
Springing from our caves
Our warm nurturing caves
Born in a cold world
Our mother's moiling womb
Enveloped by Gaia's roiling tomb
All that earthly wisdom

Fostering such a wise world
Nurturing wisdom within our souls
Mother earth holding our hand
Encouragement as we reach out
Courageous maternal instincts
Watch us break out to the moon and stars
Teach us about paternal reflection
Remind us our cave is a royal home
That sacred human place

A beleaguered benediction
Where gloom was painted
History on stark rock walls
A doomed past beneath our feet
A sacred place where our ancestors met
Prayers and songs and roasting meat
Such a rich grotto
A blessed womb
Such a plentiful world
A restful tomb
I've known crested summers like that
Arresting story book seasons
You wish they'd never end
Fairytale notions with campfire reasons
Glorious nooks and beached sessions
We hold on with good intentions
Precious inventions
Would be moments in the end
What comment could have been
What dominion would have been
Restless should have been
Segments cherished
Vestal guests dear friends
Vestiges of spiritual trends
Reminiscent of where we are
Those omniscient stars
So here we are blazing again
Staring off at Mars
Here we finally are again
Driving electric cars
