A track that laments the times we eagerly explored the planet and anything outside of it. It’s a call for humanity to get up and explore again. After all, there must be stuff worth seeking out.

Did no one see
The vigil through the night

Not meaning to amuse
It's now a flashback for

From moon to Mars, the slightest slip
But now we rarely make the trip

With pencils sharp
Competing for a view
It's almost summer now
But winter for a few
From moon to Mars, the slightest slip
But now we rarely make the trip

The skyline change
May draw them to the park
With pencils sharp
Competing for a view
It's almost summer now
But winter for a few
From moon to Mars, the slightest slip
But now we rarely make the trip
A run to space could save the South
There must be stuff worth seeking out
From moon to Mars, the slightest slip
But now we rarely make the trip
