i'm but a red speck among the stars
but you can see me from down there
i feel as though this distance is iron bars
keeping me away from you, how's it fair?

stay up there, please, you don't want to come here
we have wars every day, there isn't much of us left
i wish i could take the elevator up, dear
but i must remain a terran, not a martian on the cleft

we are having a frenzy, can't you tell behind me?
there is smoke and dust and floods like the Arctic Sea
on this red planet! we ruined it! can't you see?
there's not much i got, but i want it to be you, please

there's a whole planet's distance apart we are
we have been ruining ourselves down here for years
and when you went up there, as a tourist, so far
all that caused were some issues that manifested my fears

we are dying! there is a revolution happening on this cold ball
i hate it so much, i'm appalled and refuse to think our work benal
and why must you bring up the past, i swear if i had the gall
i would fly to you in a pack myself and show you how much you mean to me
once and for all
