Pale Blue Dot

I watched my guilt blossom before me

Like a tender shoot

With thirsty roots

O’ how my garden grows

The shameful seeds I’ve sown

I watched its stems sprawl above me

Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me

But I can live with it

I’ll live in it

There’s no place like home

Stretch your arms around me

Cast your cloud above me

Curtained, kept, and covered in

Your solemn vow,

“Ever you go, I’ll follow.”

Grow your roots within me

Drink of me you thirsty seed

I cower, cringe, and tremble at

Your solemn vow,

“Ever you go, I’ll follow you.”

There’s no place like home

There’s no place like home

(I can learn to live with this)

There’s no place like home

(If I can learn to live in it)

Heavied we’re so heavy

If she only knew just how sorry I was

(Heavied we’re so heavy)

If she only knows…

Sticks and stones won’t break my bones

It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder

Stick and stones won’t break my bones

I can live with it

If I can learn to live with this

If I can learn to live
