The expanse of space lies above us
A lifeless place with no remorse
The ocean depths lie beneath us
Waiting to drown those who enter
Darkness envelops our line of sight
Extending infinitely into space
To the left and right, on all sides
Surrounding us above and beneath
Where we were just a minute ago
In darkness again lies undisturbed
Where we’ll be a minute from now
Knows nothing, waiting in darkness
Despite all this, we continue on
Unassailed, our destination awaiting
The physical laws have joined together
Equipping us with our fearless ship
The moon sheds forth its light for us
Able to complete the journey are we
Despite the elements around us
A way has been provided for us
In many places, hope has been lost
Through most paths we can lose our way
Yet, at least one way there’ll always be
To accomplish what He asks of us
