[Verse 1: Stephen]

We sat on top the satellite

And watched the last ship pass us by

Beneath the clouds, we said goodbye

They left the town before the night

For word had spread the end was nigh

And those who stayed were left behind


[Pre-Chorus: Stephen]

So as we counted, days and moments left

We built our own paradise

Towards the end of everything

Singing a lullaby


[Chorus: Stephen]

Rest assured, dear endchild of mine

You'll nevеr have to see the curtains fall

No growing up, no giving up

The only way to saving your lifе

So if there's any future where we survive

Ah, then would we meet again?

[Verse 2: Stephen, per se]

We stumbled through an old schoolyard

It's been awhile since youth had called

With childlike drawings on the walls

So I recall our choice that day

To carry on or fly away

Now not a single child remains

[Pre-Chorus: Stephen, per se]

So here we stand with only seconds left

You close your eyes and envision

What the world it could've been

But isn't


[Chorus: per se]

Rest assured, dear endchild of mine

You'll never have to see the curtains fall

No growing up, no giving up

The only way to saving your life

So if there's any future where we survive

Ah, then would we meet again?

[Chorus: Stephen, per se, Sandy]

Truth be told, dear endchild of mine

You'll never get to see the morning sun

No growing up, no story to tell

The only way to saving your life

So if there's any future where we survive

Ah, then would we meet again?

Rest assured, dear endchild of mine

Rest assured, dear endchild of mine

Now fading at the end of the line

So if there's any future where we survive

Ah, then would we meet again?


[Post-Chorus: Stephen]

The children came from outer space

A different kind, a different age

And found the paradise we made


[Outro: per se]

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
