They were the last of us
Moving past world, we knew
They left the earth behind
As the ocean came to view

Look to the stars and see
If there's space to breathe out there
Those who could face the bleak
Saying oh what is left down there

By the wayside we'll fall
Away
Time will fall away
I'm here to stay

By the wayside we'll fall
Away
Time will fall away
I'm here to stay

To find a new home we must
In slow motion we left you
They left the earth in dust
Only room left for a few

Look to the stars believe
That there's hope somewhere out there
Those who could make believe
Thinking oh I just don't care

By the wayside we'll fall
Away
Time will fall away
I'm here to stay

By the wayside we'll fall
Away
Time will fall away
I'm here to stay

They were the last of us
To keep holding on for you
Out in the cold of space
Tell their children I love you

One day, a small green dot in an ocean of dark
was in viewed
They held it l out with belief
then they found home number two
