Em7
Out in a sky of velvet black
A7
The ships are sitting, fully packed,
Cmaj7
The engines primed and ready
Bm
Waiting for the word to go.
Em7
Our fleet assembled in the sky
A7
And now the time has come to fly,
Cmaj7
So keep the courses steady.
Bm Em7
Let’s find out what we don’t know.
(Chorus)
A7 Em7
Night flowers, light unfolding in the darkness,
Bm
Searching for a world that wants us
A7/G Em7
As we’re heading out to roam.
A7 Em7
Night flowers, living life the way it found us,
Bm
Lighting up the sky around us
B7 B7/G B7 Em7
As we’re hunting for a home.
We flew out once, we flew out twice,
And found new worlds of fire and ice,
Flying past the speed of light
Out to the galaxy.
Go home, they said, or just go large,
And so we’ve taken up the charge.
Ten thousand ships to take the flight
Out for humanity.
(Bridge to Chorus)
A7
Send ten thousand tiny ships
Am7/G
On interstellar scouting trips
C/G Bm Em7
To find another world that suits our need.
A7
Lighting up the midnight sky,
Am7/G
Fiery blossoms open high,
C/G Bm Em7
Searching for a place to spread our seed.
You’ve got to have a backup plan
To save the race that we call man.
The Earth is a harsh mistress
And she isn’t always kind,
But in a hundred thousand stars
Must be a world that looks like ours.
With night flowers to assist us,
There’s a world that we will find.
(Chorus twice)
A7 Em7
Night flowers.
A7 Em7
Night flowers.
A7 Em7
Night flowers.
A7 Em7
Night flowers.
