We could dance between the stars
with wings of force and fire
but we fear to leave the Earth
tied down by fear and greed

With wings of force and fire
we hit golf balls on the Moon
tied down by fear and greed
we haven't gone back

We hit golf balls on the Moon
when our parents were young
we haven't gone back
we sacrificed the dream

When our parents were young
we eagerly imagined
we sacrificed the dream
and nobody wants to fly now

We eagerly imagined
we wrote books and songs, wishing
and nobody wants to fly now
thirty years of tears unshed

We wrote books and songs, wishing
we could dance between the stars
thirty years of tears unshed
but we fear to leave the Earth

In Life's name and for Life's sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so — till Universe's end.
