[Intro] [interlude] In the velvet hush of the cosmic dark, Where the stars are cold and far, I searched the void for a tiny spark, — For our lonely star. Here is it in a shaft of light, A mote in a sunbeam’s glow,— Everything dear, everything bright, The only home we know. [instrumental] Look closer at sapphire pin, Suspended in the night; Among the billions who have been, I see your face in the light. " The Pale Blue Dot " that Sagan spoke, The dreamers of the dot— It’s us against the hollow dark, The only world we’ve got. [Bridge] No help will come from the distant suns, No hand from the deep unknown, To save us from the things we’ve done, Or the seeds that we have sown. In all this vastness, cold and wide, I find my peace in you; A miracle on the losing side Of a speck of pale-lit blue. [Interlude] So let the masters claim their fraction, Let the proud men boast their worth; I find my total satisfaction On this fragile, tilting Earth. For in the theater of the stars, Midst the terror and the grand, The greatest thing that’s truly ours Is the way you hold my hand. [Chourus] We’ll cherish this dot, this lonely home, In the sunbeam’s golden tether; Across the dark, through the Great Unknown, Just glad we’re here together. [final solo]
