Getting Dark (Song For A Mars Rover)

Countdown to liftoff Knowing you and I'd be worlds apart Expectations were a couple months at most We would do our level best to carry on A fire lit, a rumbling down below The sky above unfolds, and it's getting dark The sky above unfolds, and it's getting dark We made it farther Than anybody ever could have hoped The starlight filled us up so we could step beyond The limits everybody said would take their toll We opened up a whole world to explore Together, just a light on in the dark Together, just a light on in the dark A storm on the horizon And all that you could do was watch While I was overwhelmed And there was nothing I could say but My battery is low and it's getting dark My battery is low and it's getting dark We tried to hold on But weeks turned into months still out of reach And then the moment when you sang out your goodbye I was too far gone for you to hear me But the mourning sunlight lit the heart inside A final pulse, a glimmer in the dark A final pulse, a glimmer in the dark The sky above unfolds, and it's getting dark Together, just a light on in the dark My battery is low and it's getting dark
