lyrics

So I hear they found water in the soil of Mars
And the search for life it doesn’t seem too far
When you look out at the stars
Of all the planets in the universe
And the far-flung worlds the Big Bang has dispersed
We could surely be the worst

I’m aware that the world is a mess
I try to change it for the better every day
And I don’t care whether Earth is the best
I love it anyway

Whatchoo say about Gliese 581-g?
That it’s in the zone of habitability
Looks like a speck of dust to me
Maybe the people there are truly free
A perfect balance of freedom and equality
We’ll just have to wait and see

I’ll never give up on this place
No matter what lies out in space

You’re still believing in a world beyond the grave
But I don’t think that is something you can claim
In any certain way
Better start thinking about today
Instead of cosmic tolls you think you have to pay
Before there’s nothing left to save
