Check it o...
The dark of the sky
The light of the moon
The solitary figure will be home very soon
He has braved the storms of time
His life is on the line
He's been prayin' to his saviour
Please take me away from here
The man in the ship has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home in almost a year
When darkness falls
He goes by the stars
Getting directions from Jupiter and Mars
It was he who created this strife
He is fighting for his life
He is longing to see
His wife and his family
The man in the ship has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home in almost a year
[Guitar Solo]
Well will things be the same
When he gets home today
Will his children still remember the man who went away
The year that has gone past
All the places he has been
He'll remember to the last
The worlds that he has seen
The man in the ship has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home in almost a year
[Instrumental Outro]
