- A Beautiful Thing
You've kept me down my whole life through
But you've kept the earth spherical, too
Well I could just fly to the moon
If I could just overrule you
But since you ain't goin' nowhere
I'll make the best of your grip on me
And everything
- A Dance of Light
Let's begin with the solar wind
With photons sailing through the void
A lonely vacuum where few have been
From sun to earth where the dance begins
A dance of light across the sky
A vivid flowing glow on high
- Breathe In
Breathe in, breathe out
We're still alive because O2's throughout
Air due to plants and algae
Water, light, and a breath
Is all it takes for plants to make
Their food and the air that we breathe
- If I Were a Lowly Photon
If I were a lowly photon
I wouldn't weigh a single ounce
I'd be a tiny massless little particle
The smallest nature will allow
And I'd be born within a stellar furnace
In a far away star
Sailing through the endless darkness
- Ode to Pluto
You were found in 1930
But you've been around long before
And everyone seemed to know your name
A dwarf they now are calling you
But you're still hung up in most kids' rooms
We think of you very much the same
- Return to the Sky
Within the heart of every cloud
And each and every cell
There's a molecule
With long and wild tales it can tell
The basis of all life
It's found in earth and sky and in ourselves
- Rocks
The rock known as...
Igneous is formed by molten magma
As it cools, it could be
Plutonic, intrusive
Where magma's slowly coolin'
Beneath the Earth's surface
- Shifting Light
Have you ever pondered the movement of a star
A planet or a galaxy up in the night sky
Have you ever wondered why the sound of a siren
Is constantly changing as it passes you by
It's good to have many questions
About the world that you face
That's how all of human kind's
- The Smallest Things of All
To understand the world around us
And know the cosmos with less doubt
To comprehend that there is something
Instead of nothingness throughout
If we're to make sense of it all
Ask the "why" that matters most
We should turn our focus inward
- The Tree of Life
It all started with a molecule
Four billion years ago
In the early open oceans and tidepools
Before the life that we have come to know
Insects, trees, and animals
Life began in a soup of chemicals
