Song: Solar Flare

The Earth is beautiful up here in space
as I spin around like a moon
I love exploring but I miss your face
And I want to be with you soon

I'm breathless and weightless just thinking about it
Floating without a care
I know you can't see me, but I hope you'll look
As I send up a solar flare

Chorus:
A solar flare past the horizon
up through the atmosphere
We'll fly so free free with no gravity
When you come and join me here

The stars are winking all day and night
A galacticly slow Morse code
I see them all so sharp and bright
They chart out an eternal road

A hopeless romantic with escape velocity
Driving through solar glare
I know that you aren't with me, but I hope you'll come
When I send up a solar flare

Chorus

Bridge
The distant horizon when I'm on the ground is so much farther away
Than Alpha Proxima, Arcturus and more, I just left them yesterday
The solar winds blow so dark and so cold, like a furnace should never be
But everything's warm when I think of you, smiling right at me

I have two homes, and one is space
The other is next to you
I miss you, your smile, the joy of your face
So I know what I'm gonna do

Chorus

Yes a solar flare - to guide us together
Right out of the atmosphere
But if we roam far from Earth our home
Then break out the beer and roast us a steer
And send us a solar flare
