Mote of Dust (Interlude)
From this distant vantage point
The Earth might not seem of particular interest
But for us, it's different
Consider again that dot
That's here, that's home, that's us
On it everyone you love, everyone you know
Everyone you ever heard of
Every human being who ever was
Lived out their lives
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father
Hopeful child
Inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every "superstar," every "supreme leader"
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species
Lived there
On a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam
The Earth might not seem of particular interest
But for us, it's different
Consider again that dot
That's here, that's home, that's us
On it everyone you love, everyone you know
Everyone you ever heard of
Every human being who ever was
Lived out their lives
The aggregate of our joy and suffering
Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines
Every hunter and forager
Every hero and coward
Every creator and destroyer of civilization
Every king and peasant
Every young couple in love
Every mother and father
Hopeful child
Inventor and explorer
Every teacher of morals
Every corrupt politician
Every "superstar," every "supreme leader"
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species
Lived there
On a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam
