From this distant vantage point The Earth might not seem of any particular interest But for us, it's different Consider again that dot That's here, that's home, that's us On it everyone you love, everyone you know Everyone you ever heard of Every human being who ever was, lived out their lives The aggregate of our joy and suffering Thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines Every hunter and forager, every hero and coward Every creator and destroyer of civilization Every young couple in love, every teacher of morals Every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader' Every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there On a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam Anger Dream Anger Suspended in a sunbeam Nothing speaks volumes Imprisoned dreams jailed forever Forgiveness weeps No tears are released Anger has no hope Indifference rejoices While nothing holds court With jesters of time Nothing waits, and waits Anger Dreams Anger Nothing waits, and waits Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark In our obscurity, in all this vastness There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere To save us from ourselves Nothing waits, and waits Nothing holds court With jesters of time In the great enveloping cosmic dark Nothing waits And waits
