Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
G
Revolving at 9 miles an hour
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second so it's reckoned
C
A sun that is the source of all our power
The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
A Dm
Are moving at a million miles a day
F F#dim C C#dim
In an outer spiral arm at miles an hour
D G C
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
C
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
G
It's a 1 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle 1 light years thick
C
But out by us it's just 3 light years wide
C
We're 3 light years from galactic central point
A Dm
We go round every years
F F#dim C C#dim
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
D G C
In this amazing and expanding universe
--break--
C
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
G
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go the speed of light you know
C
1 miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
A Dm
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
F F#dim C C#dim
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
D G C
Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth
