Universe

At the very limit of our most powerful instruments
Galaxies still are flung across space
Themselves as numerous as stars in the night sky
But when we look this deeply into space
We are looking at a ghostly image of a distant past
For the light by which we see these regions
Started traveling towards us long before the dawn of life

In all of time, on all the planets of all the galaxies in space
Our civilizations have risen, looked into the night
Seen what we see, asked the questions that we ask

In all of time, on all the planets of all the galaxies in space
Our civilizations have risen, looked into the night
Seen what we see, asked the questions that we ask

At the very limit of our most powerful instruments
Galaxies still are flung across space
Themselves as numerous as stars in the night sky
But when we look this deeply into space
We are looking at a ghostly image of a distant past
For the light by which we see these regions
Started traveling towards us long before the dawn of life on Earth
