Children of the Earth are destined to rise and ascend

As we are but astral projections with no need to defend

Children of rare stardust, we are called for higher things

For such are the dreams of which the cosmos sings

We have only just begun our climb into celestial skies

Barely going into the night seen by our fragile human eyes

Perhaps vainly hoping our presence is a peaceful connection

As we take our path ever outward in a meandering direction

To answer questions we humans will always tend to ask

We put the best of our best scientists to this spacious task

Exploring the nearness of the moon to as far as the asteroid belt

We take stabs into this darkness playing the cards we are dealt

Always eyes focused further into our exploratory journey

We reach out determined to return to the stars as our destiny
