The Pale Blue Dot Songtext

The Pale Blue Dot Songtext
From this distant vantage point
The Earth might not seem of any particular interest
But for us, it′s different
Consider again that dot
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
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father, hopeful child
Inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every superstar
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species
Lived there, on a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance
The delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe
Are challenged by this point of pale light
Our planet is a lonely speck
In the great enveloping cosmic dark
In our obscurity, in all this vastness
There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere
To save us from ourselves
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life
There is nowhere else, at least in the near future
To which our species could migrate
Visit? Yes
Settle? Not yet
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
The Earth might not seem of any particular interest
But for us, it′s different
Consider again that dot
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
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father, hopeful child
Inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every superstar
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species
Lived there, on a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance
The delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe
Are challenged by this point of pale light
Our planet is a lonely speck
In the great enveloping cosmic dark
In our obscurity, in all this vastness
There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere
To save us from ourselves
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life
There is nowhere else, at least in the near future
To which our species could migrate
Visit? Yes
Settle? Not yet
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
