Pale blue dot

Capo 5th

VERSE (materialism)

C                                                      F
Some thoughts depress you - like what you had and lost

C                                                      F
Like we ever really possess anything - and even know what we are

BRIDGE
Am                                                                 C
Think of your ancestors do you even know their names?
Am                                                                 C
They've been blown away and are floating with the stars

CHORUS

F                                           G                               C

They are just specks of dust, floating on a pale blue dot
F                                           G                               C
We are a speck of dust, an insignificant pale blue dot

VERSE

Think of everyone through history - everyone who ever was
And of the lives they lived and what they did - how little we know of

BRIDGE

They lived their every moment in this tiny place
And in the universe they left no trace

CHORUS

We are just specks of dust, floating on a pale blue dot

We are a speck of dust, an insignificant pale blue dot

MIDDLE

Am

Rivers of blood spilt in triumph

C

To claim one piece or own one corner

F

Endless cruelties visited out

G

All for the glory of one tiny pixel

CHORUS
How many have died? Fighting for this pale blue dot

BRIDGE

Every creator, every destroyer of civilisations

Every hero, every coward, every king

CHORUS

They lived and they died, here upon this pale blue dot

BRIDGE

Every saint, every sinner, every son

Every inventor, every explorer, everyone

CHORUS

In the history of our species, crawled around this pale blue dot

Lived out their lives, here upon this pale blue dot
