Who? Who was it, all those years ago That saw two blue planets, almost identical in size And named one the sea, and one the sky The sea, condensed into a sphere But you are not made of sea You are made of water, no salt present All that is pure about the sea Without the sting Pure and good A planet so far away we cannot even fathom its distance How far away are we From the kindness of Neptune Perhaps it is equal to the distance between us

Who? Who was it, all those years ago That saw two blue planets, almost identical in size And named one the sea, and one the sky The sea, condensed into a sphere But you are not made of sea You are made of water, no salt present All that is pure about the sea Without the sting Pure and good A planet so far away we cannot even fathom its distance How far away are we From the kindness of Neptune Perhaps it is equal to the distance between us
