(Verse 1) From a pale blue dot, a message spun Beyond the reach of our pale sun Past Jupiter's swirl, and Saturn's rings A whisper carried on silent wings Through interstellar currents deep and slow A human heartbeat, where no one would know A shining disc, in cosmic night Reflecting starlight, burning bright. (Chorus) Oh, the Golden Echo, spinning free Our legacy for eternity A child's laughter, a cosmic chord A silent prayer, to be adored Across the void, a hopeful sound Where alien ears might one day be found. (Verse 2) The humpback's lament, a lover's soft plea The roar of the ocean, the flight of a bee Sketches of science, and art, and strife The fleeting beauty of all Earth life Encoded dreams on a metallic gleam A cosmic postcard, a waking dream We cast our shadow, far from our shore Hoping for understanding, and so much more.
