What does space sound like? Sounds like it hides a secret

Countless stars are like eyes, looking at us through the dark

He didn't hear our world, but he could not show his weakness

Kept dreaming, absorbed the knowledge, saved his spark

He knew that Earth is just the cradle of mankind

Man of the universe who was ahead of his time

He tried to conquer gravity. He knew something sublime

His dream became a dream of humankind

"We’ll fly away to stars," flashed through his mind

Fate was cruel to him, and at one point he almost gave up

After the death of his son, he did not invent anything for almost a decade

It was like something was holding his mind, but it wasn't enough

He returned to science, resigned himself to his fate

He knew that Earth is just the cradle of mankind

Man of the universe who was ahead of his time

He tried to conquer gravity. He knew something sublime

His dream became a dream of humankind

"We’ll fly away to stars," flashed through his mind
