Within our cosmic insignificance,
I find solace beyond shame.
Embracing my paltry value,
Accepting my humble name.
Do galaxies bother in human affair?
Have they halted the scourge
Or answered your prayer?
Indebted not to the appreciable stars,
Negligible dust in their golden eyes.
Existing above our earthen scars,
They see not your flaws, they hear not your lies.

Within our cosmic insignificance,
I find solace beyond shame.
Embracing my paltry value,
Accepting my humble name.
Do galaxies bother in human affair?
Have they halted the scourge
Or answered your prayer?
Indebted not to the appreciable stars,
Negligible dust in their golden eyes.
Existing above our earthen scars,
They see not your flaws, they hear not your lies.
