there is life here

lyrics

we lay on the cold pavement, staring at the dark sky through climbing man-made towers.
the night obscured by the glow of what humanity has created.

"why are we here?" he asks.

"who are we?" she echoes.

so we set out with the city at our backs.
one foot in front of the other.
six footprints crossing and fading in the desert sand.

"look at the sky" she says, pointing at the cloudless night.

neon lights silently fading to luminescent nebulas in the sky.
each step taking us away from a world that does not know us, and will not miss us.
this is a journey of self, of discovery.

"who am i?" the question that dies in his throat, bursting at her lips.
and i find that i also hold the question.

it burns within my heart, my lungs, my very soul.

in the distance i can see the peaks of distant mountains backlit by the night.
this is our compass, these windswept giants looming in the dark.
this is real beauty.
surrounded by the nothingness of night, a gentle wind awakening every fiber of my being.

there is life here.

he raises his arms like wings, spinning in circles.
each step we take goes unnoticed as if we are cushioned in the clouds.

"take flight, oh heart, take flight," she cries.

we are flying without leaving the ground.
