The disconnection begins

The air and the energy run out

There's nobody left at the controls

The ship floats adrift

And I, with melancholic vision

I review science and religion

I point at the sun through the window

That's where I lived

A tiny blue dot

Gets lost in a million sparks

It's my planet one light-day away

And a lesson in perspective

And I, scared to death in a corner

Think about my civilization

I whisper on the command bridge

That I lived there

And then I break down crying

And thousands of little drops violate gravity

I take the flag off my space suit

And write on the back

That I'm from humanity

As the monitor indicates

I've got less and less time left

To suffer the collision

That will return me to the firmament

And I listen to the echo of my voice

Recording this transmission

So that it sounds in the future

And serves as a lesson

And then I break down crying

And thousands of little drops violate gravity

I take the flag off my space suit

And write on the back

I am from humanity

The fragile miraculous and random existence

The tiniest life is worth a thousand times more

Than the biggest nation

That could ever be invented
