To the gods, the individual won't matter. But we've said No to that. Here, you count. Perhaps the gods, their tornadoes and weapons of mass terror Are stronger than us. But we can read and count And our music is more ethereal and real Than theirs. They must divide to conquer us But we have realized division is a form of multiplication And have multiplied. Now there are too many Of us to count. But we have learned there are More planets in the universe than people on the planet. A planet for each one. But we would rather stay Together, continue to discover what we're living for. Every human, and every animal, will count. And then We'll invite back even the gods themselves.
