lyrics

Home

“From this distant vantage point, the Earth,
might not seem of any particular interest.
But for us, it’s different.
Consider again that dot…
That’s here, that’s home, that’s us.
On it… everyone you love, everyone you know,
everyone you ever heard of.
Every human being there ever was, lived out their lives.
The aggregate of our joy and suffering…
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines.
Every hunter and forager, every hero and coward,
every creator and destroyer of civilization…
Every king and peasant, every young couple in love,
every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer…
Every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician,
every ‘supreme leader.’
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species,
lived there, on a mote of dust, suspended in a sun beam.
The Earth, is a very small stage, in a vast cosmic arena.
Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors,
So that in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters
Of a fraction,
of a dot...

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel.,
On the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner.
How frequent their misunderstandings.
How eager they are to kill one another.
How fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self importance…
The delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe…
are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet, is a lonely speck in the great, enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness,
There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere
to save us,
from ourselves.”
