One of the first tracks recorded on Vheissu, Dustin explained that the lyrics to this song were inspired from a documentary on the Apollo moon missions called “For All Mankind”, and he was also taken by the beautiful soundtrack by Brian Eno.
With regard to the lyrics, Dustin said:

[Verse 1]
We move for all mankind
A million miles from everything we've ever known
We're on their hearts and minds
A million heads are bowed to bring us safely home
[Verse 2]
Hemmed in by emptiness
A million ways that everything could be undone
This hollow in my chest
Is filled with reasons not to sing but I found one
[Chorus]
I know we are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace, we are children of
A light that never dims, a love that never dies
Keep your chin up, child, and wipe the tears from your eyes
[Verse 3]
In sleep we saw ourselves
A million years we had been waiting there, it seems
While someone weaves a spell
A million stars look on in witness to our dreams
[Chorus]
I know we are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace, we are children of
A light that never dims, a love that never dies
Keep your chin up, child, and wipe the tears from your eyes
[Bridge]
We feel an unseen love
We are children of light
[Chorus]
We are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace, we are children of
A light that never dims, a love that never dies
Keep your chin up, child, and wipe the tears from your eyes
[Outro]
Stand ready and tall
Reflect the light
