I know that I've not been the same Since the day we walked around and marveled at the firmament Both wrapped up in a blanket that was handed down And it struck me like a meteor, oh And it's hard to explain So it's hard to explain how I'm so sure These lights are meaningful We've got to understand And work out what they say These lights are meaningful They'll tell what we forgot We have a mission here These lights are meaningful We must translate them now Else we'll just roll around We have a reason here Something beyond ourselves These lights are meaningful I needed purpose, I was given one To find the reasons for life etched between the distant suns And the zodiac in blues, to the wealth of all the ones we knew Join silver dots set against the midnight blue, oh And it's hard to explain So it's hard to explain how I'm so sure These lights are meaningful We've have forgot ourselves We drift on oblivious These lights are meaningful Our message write out large Lest we forget ourselves These lights are meaningful This is our final chance We had a mission here once They're not just pretty sparks They're more than tiny stars These lights are meaningful We have a reason here We must resolve ourselves These lights are meaningful Maybe I got it wrong Maybe I'm just alone Anything to feel alive Take my hand and take me home Make me feel like I'm not alone It's what I need
