"Ad Astra" lyrics

Ad Astra

Look again at 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 who ever was
Lived out their lives

The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions
Ideologies
And economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every 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 superstar
Every supreme leader
Every saint and sinner
In the history of our species lived there
On a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam

That's here
That's home
That's us
