Pale Blue Dot

This world - A pale blue dot - In space
Ride a beam of light - And its gone from view - In a breath
Inhale, exhale - And you are out there - In space
You turn back - And strain your eyes - Can you still see it?
Another breath - Catch another ray of sun - And you are back
But hold on - If you don't slow down - You shoot past it
And you're out there again - Overshot the goal - Alone in space

Damn ...

If you leave - You get perspective - But can you get back?
Or will you catch beam after beam - Gone in a breath - Back in a blink
Like a pendulum - Left right right left - Never at rest
Thank goodness for time - And space - And gravity to hold us down
We can jump run fly - But we always come down - To our pale blue dot
And what a beautiful blue dot - It can be every day - If you use time and space and gravity

And now you ask - What is the point - Of this little story line?

The point is
There is only one point
That really matters


It's your point of view - Your position - In time and space

And just like earth - Our pale blue dot - The only one we know
It's moving changing - Turning falling - Around a center of gravity
And that's the secret - The source of power - The root of failure
The magic wand - The damning curse - The healing spell

Your point of view

It makes you - Or breaks you - And proves you are living
So take good care of it - Its your father brother child - Your friend in need
Love it, hate it - Always embrace it - It powers your life


Your point of view - But only valid - In perspective
