Our is painted across the sky In our we learn to fly No to hold us No one to us from tomorrow
away, beyond the reach of anyone Far the dreams of everyone No light to A shot in the anybody know? Sailing away, the reach of anyone Far the dreams of everyone High the heavens I see the pain Does anybody
for a moment of all the lives Stripped of essence before their time We stand to But is nothing left tomorrow?
Sailing away, beyond the of anyone Far beyond the of everyone No to follow A in the dark Does anybody away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the of everyone High from the I see the pain Does care?
"We have one collective the Earth. And yet, uncounted people remain hopeless, and calamity abound. Sufferers curl into the arms of war; people kill and get killed in the name of someone concept of God. Do we admit that our thoughts & behaviors spring from a that the world revolves around us? fabricated conflict, self-murdering bomb, vanished airplane, every fictionalized dictator, or partisan, and wayward son, are part of the of society's racial, ethnic, religious, national, and cultural conflicts, and you find the ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers. When I track the of asteroids, comets, and planets, each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet, by the forces of gravity, I see beyond the plight of humans. I see a 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 bigger. There are more in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches, more stars in the universe than seconds of that have passed since Earth formed, more stars than words & sounds ever uttered by all humans who ever lived. The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is the day we the continuing of our species. In that bleak world, arms-bearing, resource-hungry people & would be prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices, and would have seen the gasp of human enlightenment. Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again embraces the cosmic a perspective in which we are one, neither above nor below, but within."
