This Fragile Existence

All this empty space

And wondrous starlight

We cannot really grasp the

True nature of our universe

In time and space, we are a... Speck

In our perculiar universe

Mighty forces forming stars

That are illuminating darkness

Starry wasteland

But then against all odds

Through evolution and decay

A little planet has evolved

Among the grand design

Perceiving anew, this fragile existence

A fertile haven in the cold dark space

Viewing the world in all of its brilliance

Its colors shining in the cosmic maze

Life - coming and going

On our sapphire sphere

Our balance kept

Year after year

(Scientific mumbo-jumbo)

The chance for life is almost none

It's our great mystery - yet here we are!

Now if we only could

Reduce the suffering and pain

No need for death

No more

Is it imperative to fight for morality

For the task could get too formidable

But we all share the same

Craving for happiness

And so, we should be grateful for

This gift of life we are living

And try to find our way to brighter skies

Perceiving anew, this precious existence

Let's revel the greatest of wonders to be alive!

All these diversified sceneries

All these animals

All these cultures that evolve

Here on this earth, we're alive!

But how can it be that we are

Consciously feeling?

How can matter lead to

Beings with minds and free will?

Why are we even here at all?

We don't know what is waiting

When death claims us all

If nothing can stay, it's all pointless

However, what's the point of this doubt?

It could have been great to believe

In ourselves again

With all the knowledge and wisdom

Found by our ancestors

We could do so much better than this

And with our technical progress

We could've brought a new age

A paradise on earth

Designed to help us

Advancing ourselves

But therein exists a problem

We're egocentric

Burning up resources

Breaking the balance of life

Our intent can change the world

For everything's connected

As hard as we try

The blindness of mankind might

Ruin it all

Unveil - hope that shines on our path

Don't give in to woe

Disregard what can't change

We can let it go

Like a curious child

We could be embracing the mystery

In time and space, we're alive!

Perceiving anew, this boundless existence

So much to feel, so hard to imagine

Breaking a way through the path of resistance

Our acceptance is illuminating our way of life
