home lyrics
[verse] (carl sagan)
“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 there ever was, lived out their lives
the aggregate of our joy and suffering…
thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrinеs
every hunter and forager, еvery hero and coward
every creator and destroyer of civilization…
every king and peasant, every young couple in love
every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer…
every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician
every ‘supreme leader.’
every saint and sinner in the history of our species
lived there, on a mote of dust, suspended in a sun beam
the earth, is a very small stage, in a vast cosmic arena
think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors
so that in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters
of a fraction
of a dot…
think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel.,
on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner
how frequent their misunderstandings
how eager they are to k!ll one another
how fervent their hatreds
our posturings, our imagined self importance…
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe…
are challenged by this point of pale light
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.”
