Tune that's been languishing unfinished for many years, finally got back to it. It's written more for a movie credits roll....a longer version will be coming with the proper instrumental backing....need a newer computer to handle the new software......

TOUCH DOWN

I've spent some time near heaven
Checkin' out the view
Soakin' up some inspiration
And thinking of you

Out among the stars I've traveled
Far beyond the sun
A trillion lights fill the broad horizon
But for me, there's only one

So, I'll catch a ride to that shiny world
Where my life began

And make,
Touch Down onto the earth of my birth
Touch Down, put my feet on some solid ground
Touch Down, back to a sky that's blue
Touch Down, home to you

So many moons, so many planets
In this infinite dark
Are we alone or are we cousins
To some ancient, distant spark?

I'm sure the world awaits the answer
Maybe someday we'll know
But this searching has left me weary
Time for me to go

So I'll catch a ride to that shiny world
Where my life began
And make,
Touch Down, onto the earth of my birth
Touch Down, put my feet on some solid ground
Touch Down, back to a sky that's blue
Touch Down, home to you
I'm coming home.....
