lyrics

What a sight
This marvel of a pebble stranded in deep space
Given it's shine by the sun that it revolves around
Adjoined by a lunar companion
In sync with the cosmic rotation
A natural occurrence would emerge

Life after billions of years
The giver, protector, nutritionist
Mother of all we call creation
Lover of all the worms that pick at her aged and cracked face
Call it's name she will not answer

Only provides so long as we abide
By the laws of nature
The unspoken rule merely understood by those who wish to survive

Oh pale blue dot

Apparition if you miss it
Larger than that which one can comprehend
Earth, Gaia, Home
A place of many names and one of few thus far in the great expanse
A place where once giants roamed the lands
A place where the sentient learned violence and brought it's own defeat
Within exists the many possibilities
Endless avenues

Choices to make
To war or offer peace
So plagued by Ill intentions
Defiled contemplation
There is none to be hero
Turning to the stars for guidance

The bonds between
The knowledge of the strongest
Link gave rise to culture

From which came all the years of pain and anguish
And the things that matter not
