Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

 

After the storms have gone the sky hangs vast and soundless

The wreckage of one more year in clouds of light surrounds us

 

The thing that’s so wrong now was there before

I saw clearly at the time but stayed the course

​

Over a million years it took this light to reach us

Glimpses of other lives long dead they now deceive us

​

It’s fear and discontent that drives this course

I saw clearly at the time but stayed the course

​

I know we’ve come so far I’ll turn back here

Not much holds me back now not even fear
