From this distance vantage point The Earth might not seem of any particular interest But for us its different 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 who ever was Lived out their lives Every saint and sinner in the history of our species Lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam Nighttime vibes, bright skies the lifeline Searching our souls, no clues of what we might find Connecting dots with stars inside the Kuiper Belt Swimming in cosmic pools, schooled by Michael Phelps Priceless wealth, derived from the natural Living out the fanciful they said it wasn't practical View the interplanetary as close to the chest Stardust, divinity evoked with each breath Red dwarf, scorching soul's a comet, sauna or supernova Vaporizing lies ascribed, truth is movin' closer Mesmerized by the splendor of it all Monolithic graced with untenable resolve From limited tenements denizens inside the mouth of madness To gettin' out and winning routs against bouts of sadness Flamed out but building houses on mounds of ashes Steadfast not dead last no doubts surpass us I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway Baptized in the sublime, divine, energized Always cleansing, inner-mind, ain't minimized Question if the youth, would gravitate to tragedy If they understood that they are hosting galaxies Carl Sagan once evinced that we are star stuff Comprised of the same components that leave us awestruck Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, prevalence Holiness personified, elemental preciousness When we transition, recycled into stratosphere So we reemerge reobserve the magic here Deja vu, metaphysical incidents Are nudges pushing us to peer into infinite Cyclicality unveils minutiae, our inner-workings Each moment is pivotal if we seek it's purpose Never devalue spirit over weak assertions Liege-blood, peons and naives, can't usurp us I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience There is perhaps no better demonstration Of the folly of human conceits Than this distant image of our tiny world To me, it underscores our responsibility To deal more kindly with one another And to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot The only home we've ever known
