Earth Lyrics

We have come so far, why not a little farther? 
Gaiascope dreaming, oasis in the void 
Grandeur sacred, sufficient on its own 
Maternal vale, no need for revelation 

Consider this, the probability 
The uniqueness, how precious? 
We were blessed with an age of calm 
for man to evolve and grip a firm handhold 

What we see, a perfect circle 
In overview, most striking 
Blue marble parallel 
Delicate yet robust 
to support the most beautiful....accident! 

We have come so far, why not a little farther? 
Is that the least we deserve? 

It was not faith that built the stars 
It was not faith that forged the Earth 
It was the laws of the Universe 

Alone in the cold emptiness 
Keeping us warm in the darkness 
Embrace life with open eyes 
To see that narrow arc of light 
Showing our Earth, clearly fragile 
Empires will fall, one and all 
Returned....home 

From fire and air to Earth 
A small ball of rock and iron 
It is ours for care or destruction until its demise 
The afternoon in the garden 
where I would contemplate such things 
To the evening that became the dawn 
and made a new day 
(for) There may be only one
