When youa?Re feeling inside out and insecure,and life keeps getting you down.
When all lifea?¯ daily worriescc?urry through your head.
You dona?° want to even cc?et up.
You just lie around in bed
When you feel you just cana?° take it anymore
And you wonder what on Earth it is all foYour love lifea?¯ like a war zone
Your TVa?¯ on the blinIta?¯ enough to drive a drinking man to stop and take a
think
c‥aust cc?emember that you standing on a planet thata?¯ evolvingrevolving at 900
miles an hourIta?¯ orbiting at 19 miles a second, so ita?¯ reckoned,
a sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
are moving at a million miles a day.
In an outer spiral orb, at 40,000 miles an hour,
of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
Ita?¯ a 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick,
but out by us ita?¯ just 3,000 light years wide.
Wea?Re 30,000 light years from galactic central point.
We go round every 200,000,000 years.
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in this amazing and expanding Universe.
Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
in all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12,000,000 miles a minute,
and thata?¯ the fastest speed there is!
So, remember when youa?Re feeling very small and insecure
how amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that therea?¯ intelligent life somewhere up in space,
a…?ause Ia?| afraid that wea?3e been cheated here on Earth.
