Like rats, lab confined
Like fish, water confined
Like blood, vessel confined
Like children, perception confined
There are stars we'll never reach,
Spaces we'll never meet
Forms we'll never greet
The Universe expands faster than our growth
Faster than light, perhaps -- we're in a cosmic cage.

There are stars we'll never reach,
Spaces we'll never meet
Forms we'll never greet
The Universe expands faster than our growth
Faster than light, perhaps -- we're in a cosmic cage.
