The act of moving onward
Means we pass these signposts
One of them was first leaving Earth.
The next one is hanging out on the Moon.
What's next?
The Planets
Onward to the Edge
We're moving
Onward to the Edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
(This fragile little world)
Onward to the Edge
We're moving
Onward to the Edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
This is our Sun
Just another star
In the sea of stars
The heart of the Solar system
Just another star
In the sea of stars
Mercury is the closest planet
This tortured piece of rock
Has been stripped naked
The Moon has a sky
It has a horizon
It's another World
It's got Earth in the sky
Just the way we have the Moon in the sky
Onward to the Edge
We're moving
Onward to the Edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
We're not the only world to think about
Worlds unnumbered
We're not the only world to think about
Think about
Worlds unnumbered
There is a powerfull recognition
That stirs within us
When we see
Our own little blue ocean planet
In the skies of other worlds
A powerfull recognition
That stirs within us
When we see
Our own little blue ocean planet
In the skies of other worlds
The Saturn system
Offers splendor beyond compare
Becouse of it's rings
And very diverse moons
These are no longer
Abstractions
These are Worlds
Maybe there's life there
They've changed
How we think about Earth
Our own little blue ocean planet
A mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam
The pale blue dot
Onward to the Edge
We're moving
Onward to the Edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
(This fragile little world)
Onward to the Edge
We're moving
Onward to the Edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
We're not the only world to think about
Worlds unnumbered
We're not the only world to think about
Think about
Worlds unnumbered
The laws of nature
Create
Vastly different Worlds
With the tiniest changes
(With the tiniest changes)
When I reach, for the egde of the Universe
I do so knowing
That along some paths of cosmic discovery
There are times when, at least for now
One must be content, to love the questions themselves
