Farewell To Old Friends, Part II

I went on a journey to distant galaxies
The reason for my travel were black holes that I'd meet
I could barely make out the earth I left behind
Some would call it coward but I have called it wise ... desperately wise ...
Way above the dark clouds - here I could avoid the rain
And it was beyond doubt it would suffocate my pain
In my iron rocket, searching for a golden sun
I could not conceive that I was actually on the run ... not an easy one ...

The old man then cut my dream as he started to talk
Of old times and tyranny, of bombs and of war
He spoke of a different world and his eyes were so wise
That moment, so valuable, made me realise ...

Learn to let go - don't endure it in vain
Know that a rainbow follows close upon rain ...
Far away we travel, but it's here where we can find it inside
Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life!
Learn to let go and find - don't endure it in vain
Know that a rainbow can never arise without rain ...
Far we expect the sun - but right here it will hide
Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life ... that's a reason to survive!
