Was looking at the stars tonight
Thinking of other living worlds
Somewhere out there
Wondering if light-years away
Some intelligent being is
Staring at his sky
Wondering the same thing
I feel very small and unimportant
My life less than a blink
In the life of the universe
My size less than a speck of dust
In the immensity of our galaxy
The planet I live on
Only one of billions
But my mind is huge
Bigger than the universe
My soul is old
Older than the galaxy
Faster than the speed of light
Seeing and loving my brother
Thinking of me on that distant world
