Our truth is painted across the sky[00:07:25]
In our reflection we learn to fly[00:07:33]
No hand to hold us[00:07:40]
No one to save us from tomorrow[00:07:44]
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone[00:07:58]
Far beyond the dreams of everyone[00:08:06]
No light to follow[00:08:15]
A shot in the dark[00:08:18]
Does anybody know[00:08:22]
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone[00:08:28]
Far beyond the dreams of everyone[00:08:35]
High from the heavens[00:08:44]
I can't see the pain[00:08:47]
Does anybody care[00:08:52]
Think for a moment of all the lives[00:09:01]
Stripped of their essence before their time[00:09:09]
We stand to conquer[00:09:16]
But is there nothing left tomorrow[00:09:20]
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone[00:09:34]
Far beyond the dreams of everyone[00:09:42]
No light to follow[00:09:51]
A shot in the dark[00:09:54]
Does anybody know[00:09:58]
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone[00:10:04]
Far beyond the dreams of everyone[00:10:11]
High from the heavens[00:10:20]
I can't see the pain[00:10:24]
Does anybody care[00:10:28]
We have one collective hope the earth[00:12:08]
And yet uncounted people remain hopeless[00:12:13]
Famine and calamity abound[00:12:17]
Sufferers curl themselves into the arms of war[00:12:20]
People kill and get killed in the name of someone else's concept of god[00:12:24]
Do we admit that our thoughts and behaviors spring from a belief[00:12:32]
That the world revolves around us[00:12:36]
Each fabricated conflict self murdering bomb[00:12:40]
Vanished airplane every fictionalized dictator[00:12:43]
Biased or partisan and wayward son[00:12:48]
Are part of the curtains of society's racial ethnic[00:12:52]
Religious national and cultural conflicts[00:12:55]
And you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers[00:13:00]
When I track the orbits of asteroids comets and planets[00:13:09]
Each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet choreographed by the forces of gravity[00:13:14]
I see beyond the plight of humans[00:13:21]
I see a universe ever expanding with its galaxies embedded within the ever stretching[00:13:24]
Four dimensional fabric of space and time[00:13:29]
However big our world is our hearts[00:13:34]
Our minds our outsize atlases the universe is even bigger[00:13:37]
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches[00:13:48]
More stars in the universe than seconds of time that have passed since earth formed[00:13:54]
More stars than words and sounds ever uttered[00:14:02]
By all humans who have ever lived[00:14:05]
The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is the day[00:14:10]
We threaten the continuing of our species[00:14:15]
In that bleak world arms bearing[00:14:19]
Resource hungry people and nations would be[00:14:22]
Prone to act on their low contracted prejudices[00:14:25]
And would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment[00:14:30]
Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again[00:14:35]
Embraces the cosmic perspective[00:14:38]
A perspective in which we are one[00:14:42]
Fitting neither above nor below but within[00:14:45]
