Analysis of Outer SPace



It flies in outer space
Soaring past stars
Seeing beautiful exoplanets
And shooting past asteroids

Soaring past stars
It floats aimlessly
And shooting past asteroids
With no goal

It floats aimlessly
All alone
With no goal
Its origin unknown

All alone
With no worry
Its origin unknown
With no mind of time

With no worry
Why won't it stop
With no mind of time
Why won't it turn back

Why won't it stop
No one not even it knows
Why won't it turn back
They don't care

No one not even it knows
Why should they
They don't care
It's not doing anything bad

Why should they
Seeing beautiful exoplanets
It's not doing anything bad
It flies in outer space
