Starstuff

from LAUNCHING THE ROCKETS by Portash

lyrics

we‘re digging for heydays
we‘re fighting the fear
waving our heads in the troposphere
is it easier to live or to die here

we are star stuff harvesting starlight
we are one, tied to the sun the moon and the stars

we‘re burning this house down to the ground
destroying the bridges that we‘ve found
from dust we are and to dust we shall return

we are star stuff harvesting starlight
we are one, tied to the sun the moon and the stars

(I am the first one and I am the last one - In a new world I‘m on my own)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus based on a quote by Carl Sagan (1934 – 1996)

„Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars. We humans have
seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work and we, who
embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder
about our origins – star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion
atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at
consciousness here on the planet earth.

Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not
just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring.

We are one species. We are star stuff harvesting star light.“
