A bit of prog rock this week in 7/8
Following on my previous song Welcome to the Future's story of escaping from the evil AI and heavily influenced by the credits scene from Wall-E where they rebuild the world by planting seeds after exiting a spaceship.
Musically it's quite a simple 4 chord loop in A minor (A A/G Em F) other than the bridge which uses the F as a secondary dominant to go to Bb for a lovely borrowed phrygian II chord.

Lyrics
Dry air and drier mouths
Our first breaths feel impossible
Step out the airlock door
Touch the grass we have never known
Somewhere we can be
what we want to be
Somewhere we can shape
make our own mistakes
Bare hands breaking ground
What we sow brings the world to life
Dead wires left to rust
Walk away nothing holding us
Run free no need to hide
Rulers in the sky
No kings we will shape
Making our own fate
The seeds we grow
Will form a thousand branches
Somewhere we can be
what we want to be
Somewhere we can shape
make our own mistakes
