Caravan of stars

We were stargazing the other night
when we saw something that wasn't right 
against the starry, starry, lights. 

A train of sixty satellites were 
drifting in the sky that night and 
my father and my cousins complained, 
said it would ruin 

the night sky. 

A lot of people are saying that, 
that this will ruin the night sky. 

And I looked up, 
and I thought....

how beautiful it is to know 
that we are out there, 
that we can go, 
out to the stars and maybe beyond, 
a little movement among the stars, 

and if I look up one day 
and see that the night sky is alive 
I don't think I'll be suprised, 
I'll look up at the stars and smile 
and know that humans are out there. 

Chunks of metal among burning fire, 
crude constructions of wires and lights, 
satellites that shimmer and twirl, 
a caravan across the Milky Way 
that looks like spilled sand. 

So I won't be upset when one day, 
I look up and everything has changed, 
I think I'll enjoy the sight of life where we thought 
nothing could fight 
to be alive. 

Look up, 
look up, 
the whole world's changed 
things move and twist 
among a dead backdrop 
look up, 
look up, 
if we can get out there, 
who says there are not others 
seeing things moving 
around a tiny planet, 
and saying 

there, 

there is life.
