Is there anybody out there Staring up at a star filled sky From a place far from here Does my star fill there eye Or are they staring down at the stars That dwarf me in size Insignificant compared to the likes of Mars Are they extremely wise To they protect and provide aide Or simply stare down at something they may not have made Do they hear our pleas from the ground Or are they deaf to our screams We could never know in our wildest dreams But isn't it fun to think To contemplate the importance of our existence Though short we want it to mean something Even if it is only our own insistence That makes it worth anything It still helps to soothe the inevitable sting
