93 Million miles

Jason Mraz

93 million miles from the Sun,
people get ready get ready,
‘cause here it comes it’s a light, a beautiful light,
over the horizon into our eyes
Oh, my my how beautiful, oh my beautiful mother
She told me, “Son in life you’re gonna go far, and if you do it right you’ll
love where you are
Just know, that wherever you go, you can always come home”

240 thousand miles from the Moon, we’ve come a long way to belong here,
To share this view of the night, a glorious night,
over the horizon is another bright sky
Oh, my my how beautiful, oh my irrefutable father,
He told me, “Son sometimes it may seem dark, but the absence of the light
is a necessary part.

Just know, you’re never alone, you can always come back home”
Ohh…ohh…ohh… 2x
You can always come back…back…

Every road is a slippery slope
There is always a hand that you can hold on to.
Looking deeper through the telescope
You can see that your home’s inside of you.

Just know, that wherever you go,
no you’re never alone,
you will always get back home
Ohh…ohh…ohh… 5 x

93 million miles from the Sun,
people get ready get ready,
‘cause here it comes it’s a light, a beautiful light, over the horizon into our eyes…

Kira-kira ada pesan apa yang terkandung dalam lagu ini? Secara umum lagu ini mempunyai pesan, bahwa kemanapun kita pergi, bahkan ke luar angkasa sekalipun, kenyamanan dan kerinduan untuk pulang ke rumah akan selalu ada.

Lagu ini juga menggunakan istilah geografi yang berkaitan dengan antariksa, seperti:

• 93 million miles from the Sun
• over the horizon into our eyes
• Looking deeper through the telescope
• the horizon is another bright sky

Ini menjadi gambaran serta menegaskan sekalipun pergi jauh, bahkan penulis menggambarkan 93 juta mil dari Matahari pun,  pulang ke rumah adalah suatu keharusan untuk melepas kerinduan dan mendapatkan kehangatan.
