I left the fears that held me down
I went to the edges of the universe
I saw the beginning that has no end
And I looked down on something called the Earth
I’m a traveller through time and space
A visitor to distant worlds and galaxies
I’m a light year
I’m a light year away
I’m a light year
So come with me or let me disappear
If you reach for me and I’m not there
I was never really meant to stay anyway
I’m a light year away
I have no need of solid ground
You call my name but there’s no answer
Tonight I’m escaping the atmosphere
And I am free to wander anywhere
I’m a fugitive from this gravity
I sail beyond the stars a weightless cosmic breeze
I’m a light year
I’m a light year away
I’m a light year
So come with me or let me disappear
If you reach for me and I’m not there
I was never really meant to stay anyway
I’m a light year away
Away, away, away I go
Away, away, away I go
Off on an endless flight
Away on a ray of light
I’m a light year away
I’m a light year
I’m a light year away
I’m a light year
So come with me or let me disappear
If you reach for me and I’m not there
I was never really meant to stay anyway
I’m a light year away
