TIME HAS GIVEN US PERSPECTIVE
IT'S REARRANGED OUR POINT OF VIEW
NO TURNING BACK FROM OUR DESTINATION
WHAT ONCE WAS OLD MADE SOMETHING NEW
RISE AND FORWARD PLACE YOUR STARE
NO TIME TO LOOK AROUND AND COMPARE
WE'RE OFF THE GROUND

NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR US TO FOLLOW
GOING PLACES NO ONES EVER BEEN
WE'RE ON THE VERGE
I KNOW THAT'S HARD TO SWALLOW
PICK UP THE PACE AND MOVE AHEAD
RISE AND FORWARD PLACE YOUR STARE
NO TIME TO LOOK AROUND AND COMPARE
WE'RE OFF THE GROUND

RISE AND FORWARD PLACE YOUR STARE
NO TIME TO LOOK AROUND AND COMPARE
NO TURNING BACK WE'RE ALMOST THERE

NO ROLE MODELS FOR US TO OGLE
WE'RE FLYING BLIND IN AN OPEN SKY
IT'S UP TO US TO LEAD OUR VESSIL
IT'S UP TO US BECAUSE IT'S OUR LIVES
RISE AND FORWARD PLACE YOUR STARE
NO TIME TO LOOK AROUND AND COMPARE
WE'RE OFF THE GROUND
