Our solar system ends. So many dire predictions Too many apocalyptic visions What if all of us together Choose the future There is no path That we will find But the ones that stretch Out behind There is no path That I can see But an open field Of possibility There is no path There is no path No deity Wielding angry wrath There is no path There is no path But the choice we make And the aftermath What about this What if we learn to Take it in our hands All the people all the lands Together What about this What if we use all the greatest human minds Out of all of human time Together And what about this All that we got loose We could have anything Anything we choose We choose We choose We choose We choose There is no path That I can see But an open field Of possibility There is no path There is no path But the choice we make And the aftermath We choose We choose We choose We choose Can you tell your story How the Earth was formed Can you tell the history Of all the ones you've known Can you spend three hundred thousand Years under the ground Can you tell your secrets to us When at last you're found And can we find compassion Can we find our hearts Can we find the life we've always dreamed Here among the stars We might change the faces We might travel far But even here on Earth We're still among the stars But can we find direction Out beyond the dark Can we be the kind of Homo Sapiens we are And can we find compassion Can we find our hearts Can we find the life we've always dreamed Here among the stars Here among the starsWe choose, we choose Here among the starsWe choose, we choose Can you conceive Of a time more than four billion years from now Can you conceive The expanding sun A giant Red giant Can you conceive Of a planetary nebula Can you conceive A white dwarf sun of diamond A diamond The sun will end its life A diamond A sun will end its life A diamond Can you conceive Of rocks Made of matter cooked in distant stars Billions of years ago Exploding Colliding The Earth The Earth is born A planet The Earth is born A planet Born Of rocks A planet of rocks
