Down on me as a child.
He beckoned us to look beyond
The boundaries of this world.
To solar systems far away
Where heroes fought and dragons lay.
With possibilities they might just
Look to Earth and discover us.
With our heroes from above
We fell into an innocent love.
Happiness filled those magical days
Until we reached a certain age.
The world's down here not in your head.
Put those childish dreams away
In the adult world you must stay.
Work and marriage that's for you
A house and a child or two.
But we were young, we didn't know
Sometimes love brings broken bones
We were smashed beyond repair
What we married didn't care.
Life shattered, dreams all gone
From universe to isolation.
In winter skies Orion cried
The day dreams and magic died.
He could only watch from space
Until the time we escaped.
Now I sleep peacefully in my bed
Orion slumbers overhead
And in dreams I'm free to wander far
To a universe full of battlestars.
