Dark and clear the midnight sky With a thousand stars to view Each buring like our sun so bright But so very far away we knew.
A billion suns in our galaxy alone, A billion galaxies in the universe so vast, Moving at the greatest velocity known; More distant than our minds can grasp.
In this universe of time and space On a small planet orbiting a star We question and ponder our place As no intelligence contacted from afar.
We are alone for a great expance, Perhaps in the universe itself unique With a duty to survive and to advance And discover the mystery of life we seek |
