[07:26.17]Our truth is painted across the sky
[07:32.78]In our reflection, we learn to fly
[07:40.17]No hand to hold us
[07:44.14]No one to save us from tomorrow
[07:51.82]
[07:58.56]Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
[08:06.08]Far beyond the dreams of everyone
[08:13.58]No light to follow
[08:18.75]A shot in the dark
[08:22.64]Does anybody know?
[08:28.47]Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
[08:34.79]Far beyond the dreams of everyone
[08:43.07]High from the heavens
[08:47.83]I can't see the pain
[08:52.00]Does anybody care?
[08:57.73]
[09:02.27]Think for a moment of all the lives
[09:09.17]Stripped of their essence before their time
[09:16.17]We stand to conquer
[09:19.43]But is there nothing left tomorrow?
[09:27.17]
[09:35.47]I'm sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
[09:39.73]Far beyond the dreams of everyone
[09:47.96]There's no light to follow
[09:54.36]A shot in the dark
[09:58.43]Does anybody know?
[10:04.21]Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
[10:11.47]Far beyond the dreams of everyone
[10:19.07]High from the heavens
[10:23.75]I can't see the pain
[10:27.87]Does anybody care?
[10:33.41]
[11:59.20][Neil Degrasse Tyson:]
[12:09.20]We have one collective hope: The Earth.
[12:13.54]And yet uncounted people remain homeless.
[12:16.60]Famine and calamity abound.
[12:19.18]Sufferers hurl themselves into the arms of war.
[12:23.10]People kill and get killed in the name of someone else's concept of God.
[12:29.87]Dare we admit that our thoughts and behaviors spring from a belief that the world revolves around us?
[12:39.01]Each fabricated conflict, self murdering bomb, vanished airplane,
[12:45.15]Every fictionalized dictator, biased partisan and wayward son
[12:51.00]Are part of the curtains of society's racial, ethnic, religious, national and cultural conflicts?
[12:59.59]And you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers.
[13:05.55]When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets, and planets,
[13:13.49]Each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet, choreographed by the forces of gravity,
[13:20.52]I see beyond the plight of humans. I see a universe ever expanding
[13:26.26]With its galaxies embedded within the ever-stretching, four-dimensional fabric of space and time.
[13:32.90]However big our world is — in our hearts, our minds, in our out-sized atlases?
[13:40.34]The universe is even bigger.
[13:47.21]There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the world's beaches.
[13:54.19]More stars in the universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed.
[14:00.80]More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived.
[14:08.79]The day we cease exploration of the cosmos is the day we threaten the continuance of our species.
[14:18.59]In that bleak world, arms-bearing, resource-hungry people and nations
[14:24.99]Would be prone to act on their low contracted prejudices,
[14:29.32]And would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment —
[14:34.37]Until the rise of a visionary new culture once again embraces the cosmic perspective;
[14:41.08]A perspective in which we are one, fitting neither above, nor below, but within.
