Exist |
Our truth is painted across the sky |
In our reflection we learn to fly |
No hand to hold us |
No one to save us from tomorrow |
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone |
Far beyond the dreams of everyone |
No light to follow |
A shot in the dark |
Does anybody know? |
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone |
Far beyond the dreams of everyone |
High from the heavens |
I can’t see the pain |
Does anybody care? |
Think for a moment of all the lives |
Stripped of their essence before their time |
We stand to conquer |
But is there nothing left tomorrow? |
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone |
Far beyond the dreams of everyone |
No light to follow |
A shot in the dark |
Does anybody know? |
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone |
Far beyond the dreams of everyone |
High from the heavens |
I can’t see the pain |
Does anybody care? |
«We have one collective hope: the Earth; |
and yet, uncounted people remain |
hopeless |
Famine and calamity abound |
Sufferers hurl themselves into the arms of war |
People kill and get killed in the name of someone else’s concept of God |
Do we admit that our thoughts and behaviors spring from a belief that the world |
revolves around us? |
Each fabricated conflict, self-murdering bomb, vanished airplane |
Every fictionalized dictator, biased or partisan, and wayward son |
Are part of the curtains of society’s racial, ethnic, religious, |
national and cultural conflicts |
And you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers |
When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets and planets |
Each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet, choreographed by the forces |
of gravity |
I see beyond the plight of humans |
I see a Universe ever-expanding, with its galaxies embedded within the |
ever-stretching four-dimensional fabric of space and time |
However big our world is, our hearts, our minds, our outsize atlases, |
the universe is even bigger |
There are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on the world’s beaches |
More stars in the Universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth |
formed |
More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived |
The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is the day we threaten the |
continuing of our species |
In that bleak world, arms-bearing, resource-hungry people and nations would be |
prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices, and would have seen the last |
gasp of human enlightenment |
Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again embraces the cosmic |
perspective: a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither above, |
nor below; |
but within" |
