Backstory:
I followed the news regarding the astronauts stranded in space waiting to be brought back to earth
I recently read a book called Orbital, it was about a space station orbiting the earth and how they felt orbiting the earth. I decided a song about the world we live in seen from space was original and none patronising.
I also researched the Apollo missions to the moon and observations from the astronauts.
Title was tricky as I could not fit one into the lyric of the song that felt right.
I came up with Song From The Moon, one of those titles that isn't in the actual song.
Lyrics:
Song From The Moon
Verse 1
There are all kinds of heroes, and villains with their schemes
Love hate and laughter, miracles and dreams
Inventors, explorers,saints and sinners to
This complex world so full of life is in my field of view
Chorus
I'm looking out my window at planet earth below
Am I ever coming home to you
Verse 2
Cant see no pollution, I cant hear no wars
Earth's looking so peaceful from here amongst the stars
No barriers, no borders, no famine no greed
Superpowers don't exist, and everyone is free
Chorus
I'm looking out my window at planet earth below
Am I ever coming home to you
Bridge
Listening to a talk show host on my radio
Said She's gonna dedicate this song to us
Your so far away, I miss you more each day
Floating in this weightless wilderness
Verse 3
See the globe from a distance, changes how you feel
You just want to fix it and hope that it will heal
I'm filled with a sadness and I'm so afraid
Terrified the world will break and there is no first aid
I'm looking out my window at planet earth below
Am I ever coming home to you
I'm looking out my window
