Lyrics:<\/p>\n

[Sagan]
\nIf you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
\nYou must first invent the universe<\/p>\n

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
\nYou might emerge somewhere else in space
\nSome when-else in time<\/p>\n

The sky calls to us
\nIf we do not destroy ourselves
\nWe will one day venture to the stars<\/p>\n

A still more glorious dawn awaits
\nNot a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
\nA morning filled with 400 billion suns
\nThe rising of the milky way<\/p>\n

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
\nOf exquisite interrelationships
\nOf the awesome machinery of nature<\/p>\n

I believe our future depends powerfully
\nOn how well we understand this cosmos
\nIn which we float like a mote of dust
\nIn the morning sky<\/p>\n

But the brain does much more than just recollect
\nIt inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
\nit generates abstractions<\/p>\n

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
\nHas an elaborate logical underpinning
\nThe brain has it’s own language
\nFor testing the structure and consistency of the world<\/p>\n

[Hawking]
\nFor thousands of years
\nPeople have wondered about the universe
\nDid it stretch out forever
\nOr was there a limit<\/p>\n

From the big bang to black holes
\nFrom dark matter to a possible big crunch
\nOur image of the universe today
\nIs full of strange sounding ideas<\/p>\n

[Sagan]
\nHow lucky we are to live in this time
\nThe first moment in human history
\nWhen we are in fact visiting other worlds<\/p>\n

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
\nRecently we’ve waded a little way out
\nAnd the water seems inviting <\/p>\n
