The lyrics:
We forgive you, we forgive you…
‘We’re spending time as if it’s endless
Dear one, I must leave you now
Our love was shining in the sky
At night, we set the stars alight
Now, it’s time to fly away
Goodbye.’
So, I leave you sleeping deeply
And make my way to the preparation bay
I stop and turn because something tells me
To take a last long look at the place
In the decontamination chamber
I think of you in a field somewhere
Soaking wet from a short, summer shower
I place a flower in your glistening hair
With eyes aglow in the fiery sunset
Smiling softly as our lips first met
It’s a moment I will cherish forever
It’s a moment I will never, never forget
No, I’ll never forget
I hope I’ll never forget
I hope I’ll never…
“You are about to enter a state of suspended animation
You have each been specially selected for this essential mission
You will voyage in this vessel until a suitable new home has been found
And there you will start all over again
You are the seed of hope
You are the flower of youth
You are the future of humankind
So, sleep, my angels; Children of Earth
God preserve you, always,
And may you forgive us for what we’ve done.”
HMSS Flower of Youth
Fly away, fly away, find a brand-new home
HMSS Flower of Youth
Sail away, sail away, to the stars you go
HMSS Flower of Youth
Fly away, fly away, find a brand-new home
HMSS Flower of Youth
Sail away, sail away, to the stars you go
HMSS Flower of Youth
Start again, start again, you’re the seed of hope
You’re the seed of hope.
