Lonely Light (The ‘Columbia’ Song)

Sovereign Lady of my sky
Mother-ship ‘Columbia’ says “hi”
While the world tunes in to see
Two men at Tranquillity
I, in my trajectory, will disappear from human view
Checking off my things to do
All alone I dwell on you
Find a peace I never knew
Your voice coming through.

As I burn my lonely light
Pricking this immensity of night
Fears of mishap nag at me
Wonder whether I will be
One of a triumphant three, or sole survivor homeward bound?
Then your song of cares unwound
Comforts me as I swing round
How then can it be I’ve found
Your voice makes no sound?

Sovereign Lady of my sky
Mother-ship ‘Columbia’ says “hi"
Mother-ship ‘Columbia’ says “hi"
Mother-ship ‘Columbia’ says “hi”.
