DOXX MARTEN - DEPARTURE Lyrics

Here, deep in the starry nowhere
A man can be at one with space and time
Preoccupied, yet not indifferent
Anxious, and yet at peace
There are powers in the universe inscrutable and profound
In the bright, clustered loneliness of the billion billion stars
We must see the stranger in a new light
In the light of understanding
It is said, a war between worlds has long been dreaded
So long as man anticipates and prepares a different pattern
And everything in the world is changed
Perhaps, they will learn something
It is said
If it is deep enough
True enough
That love can change the future
It can prevent a war
Keep the whole world whole
May we not still hope to discover a method
By which within one generation
The whole human race can be rendered
Beyond hatred
Beyond revenge
Beyond rage
We must begin to understand ourselves
Beyond the desire for power
