Melodysheep - Onward to the Edge lyrics

The act of moving onward means
We pass these sign posts
One of them was first leaving earth
The next one is hanging out on the moon
What's next? The planets

Onward to the edge
We're moving onward to the edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world

This is our sun
Just another star in a sea of stars
The heart of the solar system
Just another star in a sea of stars
Mercury is the closest planet
This tortured piece of rock
Has been stripped naked

The moon has a sky it has a horizon
It's another world

It's got earth in the sky
Just the way we have the moon in the sky

We're not the only world to think about
Worlds unnumbered
We're not the only world to think about
Think about worlds unnumbered

There is a powerful recognition
That stirs within us
When we see our own little blue ocean planet
In the skies of other worlds
The Saturn system
Offers splendor beyond compare
Because of it's rings and very diverse moons

These are no longer abstractions
These are worlds maybe there's life there
They've changed how we think about Earth

A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
The pale blue dot

The laws of nature create
Vastly different worlds
With the tiniest of changes

When I reach to the edge of the universe
I do so knowing that along
Some paths of cosmic discovery
There are times when, at least for now
One must be content to
Love the questions themselves
