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" |
