Farewell to Old Friends, Pt. 2

I went on a journey to distant galaxies
The reason for my travel were black holes that I’d meet
I could barely make out the earth I left behind
Some would call it coward but I have called it wise … desperately wise …
Way above the dark clouds — here I could avoid the rain
And it was beyond doubt it would suffocate my pain
In my iron rocket, searching for a golden sun
I could not conceive that I was actually on the run … not an easy one …
The old man then cut my dream as he started to talk
Of old times and tyranny, of bombs and of war
He spoke of a different world and his eyes were so wise
That moment, so valuable, made me realise …
Learn to let go — don’t endure it in vain
Know that a rainbow follows close upon rain …
Far away we travel, but it’s here where we can find it inside
Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life!
Learn to let go and find — don’t endure it in vain
Know that a rainbow can never arise without rain …
Far we expect the sun — but right here it will hide
Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life … that’s a reason to survive!
