"Cosmic Ride" lyrics

Who can claim to understand
Their place within the universe's plan?
I tried my best to know
Rose petals at our feet
Fathers weep
Mothers cry themselves to sleep
For the babe in you
The child in me

I just want to lay here with you by my side
And take you for another cosmic ride
Even though the empire will dissolve into fire
And the waters of the sea will rise

Will I have the chance to find my way before it's all said and done?
Before the race is lost and won

My generation wakes another day
Until the old guard fades away
When time is on the run

I don't want to stay here and have to say goodbye
To all I've ever loved, and watch it die
Love is still the answer in its infinite supply
But wounds can only heal in their own time

I just want to lay here with you by my side
And take you for another cosmic ride
Even though the empire will dissolve into fire
And the waters of the sea will rise
