Lyrics Adapted, with permission, from the words of Carl Sagan, from the book of the same title. ISBN 0-345-37659-5
Video from the movie "Contact".
"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. " - Carl Sagan
LYRICS
Take a look again
at that pale blue dot
That's here that's home that's us
And everyone you love
Everyone you've ever known
Everyone you've ever heard of
Every human being that ever was
Living out their lives
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Every hunter a forager
Every hero coward and creator
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father
Every hopeful child
Every inventor and explorer
Every super star - every saint and sinner
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Playing on a tiny stage
In a cosmic theater
We've spilled rivers of blood
And never stopped
Our grand delusion
Imagined self importance
We simply forgot
This is the only home we've got - the only home we've got
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot
Pale blue dot

This is one of the most beautiful sung videos I have come across...why haven't you competed on America's Got Talent? you need to get exposure ...a label...an agent I don't know what but you're as good as they get.
