Our night sky is a time machine
Displaying the grace of stars that have been
We're too distracted by these dying worlds
To own up to the fact
That among them is the one that we call home

The universe doesn't give a shit about our pale blue dot
Yet it graced us with an orbit that is not too cold or too hot
The ball's in our court; we can save ourselves if we work with what we've got
We're no where near a black hole, so let's be grateful and not dig ourselves one

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark

Our greatest threat is ourselves
The ones you'd take a bullet for are holding a smoking gun
What do the stars think as we put our survival on the shelf
Why go to Mars when we can still save this sinking ship?

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbour life
There is no where else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate
Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand

Quasars blind us from billions of lightyears away
To them, our pale blue dot wouldn't have even had it's first birthday
If you think we matter, we don't
But we will, if we don't kill ourselves first

The universe doesn't give a shit about our pale blue dot
Yet it blessed us with a magnetic field that acts as a sunblock
For an intelligent species, we're dumb as shit; we're born in a fucking paradise
But short term profit is so enticing we'll sell it for a low price

To me, it underscores our responsibility to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot
The only home we've ever known
