It's the second week of the songwriter contest, but I saw @luzcypher just posted the entries. Last week I did my entry around the same time. If I missed it then it's no big deal.
The theme this week was lost in found. I found this challenging, but eventually the germ of an idea emerged. I think Space Oddity may have been an influence, but I haven't directly referenced it.
Drifting in space alone
Far from my earthly home
Comms down and low on air
I'd though I'd die out there
But then I saw a light
Start to shine so bright
Was it an exploding star
No, it was a rescue craft
Chorus
I thought that I was lost
Out in the vacuum
But now I've have been found
And I'm coming home
I took leave of the Earth
The planet of my birth
Looking for glory and fame
A discovery to make my name
Maybe I reached too far
Trying to capture a pulsar
I nearly paid the price
The ultimate sacrifice
Chorus
I'm returning to the ground
Where I'll be safe and sound
Maybe I'll remain
Or will I go off again
Chorus
The songwriter contest is here and the open mic is here
I'll buy guitar picks for Steem Dollars
