D
As a child I looked to the stars
C D
And what did I see?
G C F D
Adventure shining there for me.
C
In those jewels of light
D
All the future seemed bright,
C D
And it thrilled through my soul.
As a man I looked to the stars
And what did I see?
Adventure's light still guiding me.
With a starship and crew
All my dreams could come true,
And those dreams filled my soul.
Dm F Gm Dm
But nightmares also dwell within the shadows of our bright galactic dream,
F Gm A
And one such caught and held me in a net through which my stars shed not a gleam.
F G Eb Dm
My soul and body torn from me and pledged against the stars,
C Dm C Dm
And though I am restored and free, my soul still feels the scars.
So now I look to the stars
And what do I see?
Adventure still shines there for me.
But now out there I know
Is a terrible foe,
And I fear for my soul.
C D Dm D Dm Dsus2
I fear for my soul.
