G6
I'm headed out
       Cadd9
toward another place
toward another life

G6
I'm gonna find out
         Cadd9
what the world looks like 
behind the skies

Em
I give my thanks
       Cmaj7
To the ones before 
who mapped the way

Em
But no other 
But they have not seen
        A7sus4/E     
what our eyes are going 
   Dsus4
to see today

Red sky at night, and this sailor stares with frank delight
Across the red rock in the red hot rockets fading light
Red sky at morning, sailor heed a warning loud and clear
Only a careful life will reach a happy ending here  

//Red sky at morning, sailor take your warning far from here
//There's much to do today, and little time to give to fear

Old familiar stars above, except a wanderer, blue and green
And just below her is a glimpse of Luna's silver sheen
And right before the sunrise blots out that familiar sky
The seven sisters rise and bid me lay my ship aside
	(The pleidaes, derived from Plein "to sail", marked the sailing season in Greece)
	(They would be rising right at sunrise as viewed from 
	 Underhill, W44.97302 N8.09650 Mars, Sept 21 2027; landing of the first hundred in "Red Mars")

//The stars still look the same except for one that's blue and green
//And just below it is a flash of Luna's silver sheen
//And right before the sunrise wipes her memory from the sky
//The seven sisters rise and bid me welcome to the day

So very far away, so very far that I have roamed
And in my dreams it sometimes seems that I have never gone
But in this red dirt I will dig my roots and lay my bones
And leave a family, who sleep dreaming of no other home
