And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough...
Just, remember that you standing on a planet thats evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
Its orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so its 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 fourty thousand miles an hour
In a galaxy we call the milky way
Our galaxy itself, contains a hundred billion stars
Its a hundred thousand light years side-to-side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us it just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years fron 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 wizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light ya know
Twelve million miles a minute and thats the fastest speed there is
So remember when your feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that theres intellegent life somewhere up in space
Cause theres bugger-all down here on earth
