lyrics

Pale Blue Dot
Russ Glenn/ Starshell Music ASCAP

Do you dream about the vastness of space, or do you live inside your
mind?
I touched the binding and the pages they just fell away
Another story for another life
We’re so hard to see from far away, even the giants of our histories
Are standing on shoulders of shoulders of shoulders, casting shadows
they would never see.

All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think we’ve reached the pinnacle I can assure you, we have not
All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think that you’re untouchable, I can assure you, you are not

And love it is a mystery, like a giant in our lives
And everyone else just backs away, In deference to its size
But love can be a tragedy, Like a flood upon our lives
When everyone else is swept away, with one glance from your pale
blue eyes

All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think we’ve reached the pinnacle I can assure you, we have not
All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think that you’re untouchable, I can assure you, you are not

Time it is a mystery, the swirling eddies of our minds
Exist to interpret signals that come faster, faster all the time
Time it is a tragedy, we’re always waiting for that last hard stop
Do we exist just to be blurs in motion? Or does that motion wind the clock?


So light a candle in the dark we are alone on our pale blue dot
And if you think that we are unaccountable, I can assure that we are
not

All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think we’ve reached the pinnacle I can assure you, we have not
All of these armies and all of these wars for a piece of a pale blue dot
And if you think that you’re untouchable, I can assure you, you are not

Do you dream about the vastness of space?
Or do you live inside your mind?
