Lyrics
(Am) The Universe is vast
and (F) we are very (Am) small
If we could (Dm) truly conceive the (Am) size of it
we'd (G) all be so appalled
We (F) may be the only creatures
in this in(Am)calculable expanse
Who are a(G)ware of its existence
and (F) of the (G) cosmic (Am) dance
It's that fact makes us special
with consciousness we're blessed
It makes our troubles here on Earth
seem trivial at best
We've taken our first steps
We're in Apollo's afterglow
But if we'll ever stand on Mars
is something we don't know
The Voyagers have crept
into interstellar space
But centuries might pass
until they reach another place
The key to the stars is travelling faster than light
Most scientists say we can't
But a few imply we might
Star Trek is a fantasy that may never be made real
The secrets of the universe down here we must reveal
And travelling in time, is reserved for Doctor Who
Our dream of living on other planets
may never ever come true

Just a note to say I have put up the demo for my "Spacy" song "Perspectives"
The 'We may be the only creatures in this incalculable expanse' is something I toyed with for this skirmish, around the theme of the Fermi Paradox
