On this Earth, I am bound

Trapped by gravity, to the ground

I look to the sky, and wonder why

My confinement here still apply

The heavens full of places grand

Trapped on this planet, I can't understand

As patiently I await to change my fate

To, again, soar beyond this star and more

I arrived in Eden a long time past

To visit your planet, my lot was cast

Trapped and forgotten, till at last

I've been contacted, I've been found

To this Earth, I am no longer bound

Again I am able to wander afar

To travel far beyond this yellow star

Where, I'll apply my wonder lust

To be trapped again, this I trust

Such is my fate, wander and wait

For another release at a future date

I am, forever, trapped in time

In oblivion's tainted rhyme
