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

@outlaw87100 "When you return to your unobservable but empirically determined dimension of origin, tell them CARL SAGAN sent you."

Bitches don't fuck with the Sagan.

[Polack21]

when you realize what we are and where we are, how amazing it is to be consciously aware of our surroundings and be able to skeptically interrogate every aspect of it in search of an ultimate and undeniable truth, if you can really internalize this, you will have tears of joy, as I just did.

@Polack21 I know that feel bro. Place fist here for e-bro fist bump.

[OtseisRagnarok]

the "chorus" is the most beautifully hopeful thing I've ever heard in my life.

"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"

[usamax007]

[dilwich123]

His words are a symphony enough.

When people ask me my religion I say "Carl Saganism" lol

[TheSmackerlacker]

Thirty seconds in, the guy on the left is trying to not smile, and failing.

[ImpalerMediaProdz]

Carl Sagan is so eloquent... A scientific poet.

[StormadoMan]

The only time I ever saw Chuck Norris look nervous is when someone told him Carl Sagan had just entered the building..

[irkinelite51]

The words in this video give me hope for the future of mankind, too bad the comments section assures me we're all doomed.
