WHENEVER LIFE GETS YOU DOWN,
AND THINGS SEEM HARD OR TOUGH.
AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID, ABNOXIOUS, OR DAFT,
AND YOU FEEL THAT YOU'VE HAD QUITE ENOUGH.

*

JUST REMEMBER THAT YOUR STANDING ON A PLANET THAT'S REVOLVING
REVOLVING AT NINE HUNDERD MILES AND HOUR.
THAT'S ORBITING AT NINETEEN MILES A SECOND, SO IT'S 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 ARM AT FORTY THOUSAND MILES AN HOUR,
OF THE GALAXY WE CALL THE MILKY WAY.

*

OUR GALAXY ITSELF CONTAINS A HUNDRED BILLION STARS,
IT'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS SIDE TO SIDE.
IT BULGES IN THE MIDDLE SIXTEEN THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS THICK,
BUT OUT BY US IT'S JUST THREE THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS WIDE.

*

WE'RE THIRTY THOUSAND LIGHT YEARS FROM GALACTIC CENTRAL POINT,
WE GO ROUND EVERY TWO HUNDRED MILLION YEARS.
AND OUR GALAXY IS ONLY ONE OF MILLIONS OF BILLIONS
IN THIS AMAZING AND EXPANDING UNIVERSE.

*

THE 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,
TWELVE MILLION MILES A MINUTE
AND THAT'S THE FASTEST SPEED THERE IS.

*

SO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE FEELING VERY SMALL AND INSECURE,
HOW AMAZING AND UNLIKELY IS YOUR BIRTH,
AND PRAY THAT THERE'S INTELLIGENT LIFE SOMEWHERE UP IN SPACE,
'CAUSE THERE'S BUGERAL DOWN HERE ON EARTH.
