Space

We took a trip
Through the universe
On a rocket ship
At the speed of light
While time stood still
Through day and night,
Passed galaxies
And many a star,
Our journey was long
And we traveled quite far,
But we never found
A planet as fine
As our good earth,
This paradise - sublime,
But when we returned
After our trip was done,
Billions of years had gone by,
Our sweet world was gone,
Left us an empty, dark sky...
