We
We are such a lonely species
Shivering and defiant
Putting on a brave face
Comforting ourselves with wonder
But who can we look up to
Who amongst us would dare
What solace is there ahead
All this belief, in mystery, in wisdom
Blind faith, blind without, blind within
Forlorn in our cosmic corner
With hope
Shrug your shoulders
And put them to the wheel
Knowledge without end
We soothe one another
