I look up at the sky and I see stars
They look almost as dizzy as I feel
For thousands of years they showed us the way
The sky has changed, the world has turned the wheel
Into an open circle slowly walks
The one who brings the number to thirteen
A bridge over a river in the sky
The starry serpent and who stands between
But it was much easier to divide
In halves and thirds and fourths, by six and three
When there were twelve instead of a number
Whose only factors are one and thirteen
I wonder how much this will change our world
And in how many small and subtle ways
We will learn something of our unity
And of our individuality
