about
Analysis suggest that there could be stable orbits about A Centaur b. If so, the other star would be a "midnight sun". Why are the trees purple and fractal? Not why, why not. See Above.
lyrics
Chorus:
--The Midnight Sun is rising over, purple fractal trees
--And the moons are coursing thought the sky, not one, not two, but three
--A planet full of wonder, I know you will agree,
--This world that orbits A Centauri b
--The world beneath the purple fractal trees
When they left the Earth for foreign skies, they knew not what they'd find
But with hopes and dreams of better lives, they left the Earth behind.
They took the dark untraveled road, to find a new frontier.
And that is how our families wound up here.
My grandpa's shown me pictures of the planet of his youth
And he swears that's how the old world was; he swears that it's the truth
They only had a single moon, one yellow sun up in the sky
He even said you'd need machines to fly
And the trees were green and lost their leaves each year.
-Repeat Chorus-
Now I've never walked the earth beneath another distant star,
But I have a piece of earth right here, my grandfather's guitar
It's made of wood the like of which I've never seen before
And he bought it in a light years distant store.
But it's strung with strings whose steel was made out of the new world's ore
making music in two star systems, an instrumental metaphor
And I thank the men who built this world with their blood and sweat and pain,
And I know they'd gladly do it all again.
And if they asked I'd gladly volunteer
-Repeat Chorus-
The folks who built this colony, and their kids are getting old
But their grandkids play among the fields of purple, green, and gold
And soar among the birds and bats on human powered wings,
And I swear to you I wouldn't change a thing
So as landing day rolls round each year, we pause to celebrate,
Gather in the harvest, let the children stay up late
As the second sun chases the dark from the brilliant starry dome
We thank the Gods for the world we call our home
and that we have our friends and family near.
-Repeat Chorus-
