We can fly to Mars
Send a probe around the sun
Build a frame to touch the sky
It’s still so hard to say goodbye
Politicians negotiate
Lawyers seal the laws of state
Journalists ask questions why
It’s still so hard to say goodbye
When you strip everything away
All we have is love
All we are is each other
All we have is love
Doctors diagnose the pain
Who cleans the bloody stains
Nurses tend our babies cry
It’s still so hard to say goodbye
All across our known universe
Wherever humans converse
All they say when it’s time to die
It’s so hard to say goodbye
Strip away the layers
The things we buy
All the possessions
What do they mean as sunset falls
