Song Description
Mars (the "red one") is a less developed person than his sister "Gaya" (Earth), whom he can vaguely see and sense as their orbits come close, but do not intersect. Mars, however, cannot quite communicate/connect with Gaya because of his lesser development and more primordial state. He clenches his fist and determines to connect with Gaya spiritually, as he can't physically, as man must do to find the Deity.

Lyrics
I am the red one floating
I'm floating in space
My sister Gaya, she flies 'round me now
I can see her face
I can reach out now
I can almost touch her hand
To intersect the orbits of my own
And once you turn away
You won't be back
It's time to carry on our separate ways
I miss you now
I want to speak your name
It's always just the same
Cannot form the words
And I barely know you're here
But I know...but I know, I know
I know you're here
