Newborn Race - Ayreon

There must be a way to enrich our lives.

A way to awaken a nation that dies.

There must be a way to revive our past.

A way to break free from a world that won’t last.

Take me back to when we lived another life

Back to when we had no plan

Take me back to when we struggled to survive

Back to when it all began

There must be a way to reverse history

A way to resume life, return to the sea

There must be a way to win back what we lost.

A way to escape this, whatever the cost

Take me back to when we lived another life

Back to when we had no plan

Take me back to when we struggled to survive

Back to when it all began

Explore the vastness of space

Discover a wonderful place

Enter a brand new phase

Seed the world with a newborn race

We have no choice

Life is passing us by

We should rejoice

I say we should try

Every million cycles

shooting stars rip our sky.

We could divert them

on the day they pass us by.

And on that shining day there is a way

For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!)

Hmmm…

Do we have the right to create life?

And do we have the right to take it?

Yeah

Can we decide who lives and dies?

Do you think they would even make it

We have no choice, life is passing us by

We all plant our seeds

And guide them to their goal

We cannot fail

We have absolute control

And on that shining day there is a way

For our DNA to reach a world to stay (world to stay!)

Hmmm…

Do we have the right to play gods?

I strongly feel I have to make a stance

Do you think we should take the odds?

Yeah.

Would they even stand chance?

I don’t think they ever will.

Ever will…

No…

Take me back to when we lived another life

Back to when we had no plan

Take me back to when we struggled to survive

Back to when it all began

Take us back to when we lived another life

Back to when we had no plan

Take us back to when we struggled to survive

Back to when it all began

Take me back to when we lived another life

Back to when we had no plan

Take me back to when we struggled to survive

Back to when it all began

Explore the vastness of space

Discover a wonderful place

Enter a brand new phase

We should rejoice!

Seed the world with a newborn race

I say we should try

Explore the vastness of space

Discover a wonderful place (do we have the rights?!)

Enter a brand new phase

Seed the world with a newborn race (we cannot fail!)

We found a way to enrich our lives

A way to awaken the nation that’s died
