I saw infinity in a pearl
I realised we're in a world
Maybe within grasp
I tried to take a big step back
I saw four colours on a map
Maybe that's all it needs
We saw two ladders holding hands
We start to think we understand
Or maybe not so much
I saw infinity in a pearl
I realized a better world
May be within our grasp
We saw our home become a dot
That pale blue light is all we got
Try not to mess this up
We can choose where to put our hearts
Make things collide and split apart
Let's find out whats inside
And it's no cause to run and hide
That there are things we can't decide
Even with all time
We saw our home become a dot
More beauty than we ever thought
Don't wanna mess this up
We saw a serpent throwing sparks
And yet perhaps it's much too hard
To know the stuff of thought
And when it comes to what we're told
Far too quick to fill a role
We heard a story from a ghost
I think it may have told the most
Of what we once were
Oh can we know the stuff of thought
Merely circuits on and off?
Are we circuits on and off?
Or are we just a second thought?
And one day we'll come to see
What you and me are made of
Take care don't you know
We got nowhere else to go?
Can't you open your mind
To the wonders that you'll find
We soar to great heights
But it doesn't end the fight
Can't you see that one day
Like the stars we'll fade away?
