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 its 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

I think this may be one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[maxwellwilson99]

Gives me the chills when he says 400 billion suns!

[tontsa911]

Carl Sagan himself would like this video :)

[Francisco Tupy]

i´m using this video to explain about science. it´s a very amazing tool to spread scientifica literacy. great results with childer and teens who develop a true love for the science since young

[vodun82]

Intelligence is the ability to use your knowledge in a fruitful way. Many people attain knowledge, but few use it well. Just as some posses great intelligence but lack the knowledge to use it to their advantage.

[James Parker]

I can. I know more then Aristarchus did, because he lived 2300 years ago. However he's probably the single most impressive scientists of all time. So he is far more intelligent then I am, but he knows less because he didn't have the same information available to him.

[Autobot248]

That would be knowledge and wisdom.

[prestozonium]

Can you explain the difference?

[prestozonium]

In the grand scheme of things, humans haven't been around for that long. Going to the moon is amazing.

[TruthThanks]

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

[joedlang]

I have to come back to this occasionally to touch again the beauty of this universe we live in. Thank you.
