Destiny's Child
00:00 / 01:35
Destiny's Child
​
When first you stood in this room
You were a child
I was afraid
Knowing the future you held
Destiny's Child
Carry our seed to the stars
​
Throw out the sails
Harness the sun
I stay behind
​
Know that my spirit will sail
Destiny's Child
​
Godspeed
Destiny's Child
The year is 2132.

Master Eflin, age 65, is saying goodbye to a long-time student who is embarking on a voyage to Alpha-Centauri in a light-sail ship.
The assignment was to write a song in AABA form leading to a sad hello or a happy goodbye.
This is what I came up with, and presented at BMI on 57th Street in Manhattan in the autumn of 1991.
