Akira The Don, Carl Sagan - An Apple Pie From Scratch lyrics

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

This is a time of great danger
But our species is young
And curious and brave it shows much promise
In the last few millennia
We have made the most
Astonishing and unexpected discoveries
About the cosmos and our place within it
I believe our future depends
Powerfully on how
Wеll we understand this cosmos on
Which we float likе a mote of
Dust in the morning sky

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

The surface of the Earth is the
Shore of the cosmic oceans
On this shore we've learned most
Of what we know
Recently we've waded a little way out
Maybe ankle deep
And the water seems inviting
Some part of our being knows this
Is where we came from
We long to return, and we can
Because the cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff
And we are a way for
The cosmos to know it'self

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

The cosmos is full beyond measure of
Elegant truths, of
Exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature
The cosmos is full beyond measure of
Elegant truths, of
Exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature
