Lyrics
I wrote this piece of every human being on Earth We, this people on a small and lonely planet Traveling through casual space Past aloof stars Across the way of indifferent suns To destination where all signs tell us It is possible and imperative That we discover a brave and startling truth And when we come to it To the day of peacemaking
