Letter to Earth

[Verse 1] Alone on red Mars, I drift in a quiet iron dawn Rain is a memory I taste in the air, gone before dawn I fold a letter to Earth, a pulse I send through the void Hoping simple joys will greet me when my ship lands again [Pre-Chorus] The comms blink like a heartbeat, slow and true Waiting for a reply that knows what longing means [Chorus] bring me back to Earth through the static, let the rain return to me write back with a whisper of grass and wind bring me back to Earth [Verse 2] I tilt my visor toward the stars, imagining a rainy day The scent of rain crossing clouds and vines, a memory I save I send another letter with a starlit seal of hope If you hear me, Earth, answer with a season where feet touch ground [Pre-Chorus] Mars winds whisper your name in a chorus of dust I ask for your reply to carry my ordinary joys [Chorus] bring me back to Earth let the rain's kiss find a way home let your reply drift through the quiet blue bring me back to Earth [Bridge] If love can travel light-years, let it cross the void on a sigh I press my pulse against the console and wait for dawn Earth, hear me: the question is simple, the answer kind [Chorus] bring me back to Earth through the static, let the rain return to me write back with a whisper of grass and wind bring me back to Earth [Outro] Until then, I listen for the rain in the red wind.
