Newborn Race

Lyrics

There must be a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken a nation that dies
There must be a way to revive our past
A way to break free from a world that won't last

Take me back to when we lived
another life, back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled
to survive, back to when it all began

Lyrics continue below...

There must be a way to reverse history
A way to resume life, return to the sea
There must be a way to win back what we lost
A way to escape this, whatever the cost!

Take me back to when we lived
another life, back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled
to survive, back to when it all began

Explore the vastness of space, discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase, seed the world with a newborn race

We have no choice
Life is passing us by
We should rejoice
I say we should try

Every million cycles shooting stars rip our sky
We could divert them, on the day they pass us by

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Hmmm...
Do we have the right to create life?
And do we have the right to take it?
Can we decide who lives and dies?
Do you think they would even make it?

We have no choice, life is passing us by

We'll plant our seeds
And guide them to their goal
We cannot fail, we have absolute control

And on that shining day there is a way
For our DNA to reach a world to stay

Hmmm...
Do we have the right to play gods?
I strongly feel I have to make a stance
Do you think we should take the odds?
Would they even stand a chance?
I don't think they ever will
Ever will... No...

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take us back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take us back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Take me back to when we lived another life
Back to when we had no plan
Take me back to when we struggled to survive
Back to when it all began

Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place
Enter a brand new phase
We should rejoice!
Seed the world with a newborn race
I say we should try
Explore the vastness of space
Discover a wonderful place (Do we have the rights?)
Enter a brand new phase
Seed the world with a newborn race (We cannot fail!)

We found a way to enrich our lives
A way to awaken the nation that dies
