lyrics

There is the Sun--up there, high in the sky burning
There is the Earth--weightless, bound to the sun, turning

Here is the Sun spinning in spiral-armed circles
Here is the Earth’s orbit, bound in a well of stars
Here is the Moon waning, and then again waxes
Here are the Earth’s seasons, caused by a tilt of axis

We float along the sea of space,
Order from chaos in This Cosmic Place
We float along the ocean of stars
Lost on this island; hey, look where we are
Look where we are

Here is the Earth, our home--water and air and land
Now here is humankind stretching to touch God’s hand

We float along an ocean of stars
Lost on this Island, look where we are.
We float along the cosmic sea
How far we’ve come, humans.

All of the dust in all of the men
All came from stars and will go back again.
We came from stars, it’s what we were then
We came from stars, and we’ll go back again

We float along the sea of space,
Order from chaos in This Cosmic Place
We float along the ocean of stars
Lost on this island
Look where we are
