“Soul-Bound”
I was born on a rock
Deep in the blackness of space
Population one
Me, the only race
By myself, I was raised
Alone on this cold rock
For all of my days
But though I was alone
This rock was my home
And though I was alone
I didn’t know the meaning of the word
Just a fleeting hole that I felt
But that also flew away like a bird
On this rock
I valued my time
I knew myself to the fullest extent
And walked a straight line
Though all there was, was blackness
I could see past the night
Inside this rock
And into its light
Into this light
This soul that shines bright
That guides my home
Through all of space’s plight
And to world’s undiscovered
Unknown to my soul
And the blackness all around
I took all of space’s brutality
And turned it into harmonious sounds
Sounds of joy, hope, and laughter
Because on this lonely rock I found myself
That which my soul was truly after
