A little story-song about a planet that lost its way.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the bottom of the ocean there once lay a sunken monolith
Undisturbed for vast millennia til one day its stone eye opened
Somewhere across the great divide of expanding spacetime
There was a corresponding stirring from its companion
Off in the stars
And then came the great awakening all of the worlds rose to consciousness
And fulfilled their various purposes living on in galactic harmony
Within the ever changing tides and flow of the cosmos
One tiny planet fell out of sync, got lost in the darkness
And grew cold
Oh poor Earth where did you ever go?
Cut off from the rest of everything this world became sad and ignorant
And its lifeforms just fought endlessly over nothing of any importance
Someday perhaps they'll hear the call from the furthest reaches
Of spacetime inviting them to come back into the fold
But heaven knows
