Song A Day #325: The Story of Wandering Fall, Act 1, Scene 4: Contact

TO DISCUSS:
http://rockcookiebottom.lefora.com/

in the deep dark depths the humming vacuum, outer space
there's a creature who's wandering all over the place
it doesn't know where it came from, it doesn't know where it's been
a proto sort of consiousness that lives in the moment

after a long time wandering, how long we'll never know
the creature meets something out as far as it can go
at the edge of the universe, it's consciousness expands
and the creature starts to falling, and starts to understand

as it becomes aware, it knows possibilities
and an overwhelming emptiness as far it can see
but it names itself and all around it big and small
the dark he calls space and himself he calls fall

along with his name he's found utter loneliness
the desire for a friend and some companionship
he starts to make sounds he's calling out in all directions
when he hears nothing back he starts getting desperate

one day not long from now Fall will hear an answer back
an old TV program will pierce the black
excited and amazed he'll start heading for it
he's not afraid of anything, he's thrilled to explore it
