Looking up at the same stars
Some are near and some are far
One green star in their constellations
Beyond their wildest imaginations

Whole worlds spiral in its wake
Following the path it takes
Through the coldest darkest places
Trails a frail pale blue oasis

Here is water, here is air
Do they know what else is there?
Here is lightning, here is thunder
How I wonder how they wonder

Imaging us with precision
Watching us on television
All these living moving beings
Do they know what they are seeing?

Crows and cranes and lions and lizards
Bulls and bears and wolves and wizards
Phoenixes, foxes, and pharaohs
Swans and eagles, harps and arrows

Soaring, singing in the night
Bright blue bird of paradise
Ever under one green star
Do they wonder what we are?
