Universe Blues

Moons circle distant
         planets
Other worlds may hold
          water
and be filled with life
But I've got the universe 
   blues
We're of such small 
importance
  You may want to matter
Well, I'm afraid 
the universe is a cold, cold 
friend
    and grants us a moment
of consciousness
    before nightfall
Yeah, I've got the universe blues
   Will you sing them with me?
Will you lament
with me?
Our small stature 
in such vast surrounding 
   Let the beat 
of the cosmic dawn
   enter your heart
Sing the universe blues
   with all your might!
