Lyrics:

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has it's own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting

The only time I don't feel conflicted about the malevolence and banality of humanity is when I'm listening to Carl Sagan.

[Baldurpet]

If only more people would pay homage to intelligent human beings instead of celebrities or pop idols.

Why people don't stand in awe of the intellectuals and thinkers that gave us the science and technology that changed our lives so much I'll never know. We stand on the shoulders of giants like Sagan and Hawking.

@gworling It is inspiring isn't it? I listen to it often as well.

[gworling]

You should be ashamed to post this kinds of speeches in here...

[thoroleoby]

Does anyone know if there´s a downloadable mp3 of this tune anywhere on the web? Would love to have both Sagan and Hawking singing in my ears on my way to work:)

Dawkins isn't in this video. That's Stephen Hawking. And it is EPIC and awesome.
