Distant Lyrics

It's night
And the telescope sighs
Of a newborn star tonight
It shines
Distant
Yet closer than anything
I can touch or see with my naked eye

I chose to dissipate
And devote myself to live
And drift across the skies
And on the stars seen at night
Distant
And painfully aware
Of the things i miss
And the things i choose to dismiss

I wonder how they feel
I wonder what they do
I wonder if their satellites
Have come to any use
Is someone somewhere
Waving Hello?
Crying in agony?
Smiling in sympathy?
