Who Are You?

Light years away, cross the void of space From beyond the heavens, from a distant star. You've technology that would dazzle We wonder who you are. Since the dawn of time, we've recorded your visits You've walked among us and you've watched us from afar. We've seen you streak cross our skies We wonder who you are. If harm you've meant us, by now we'd surely know To you, were creatures to be studied, like specimens in a jar. To some, your figments of our imagination, and still We wonder who you are. Our darkened skies are filled, with the beauty of your light Your home is a distant planet, someplace we call a star. Until such time as you think we're ready We wonder who you are. The question has been asked, are we alone The answer comes in streaks of light from afar We couldn't possibly be the only planet with life We wonder who you are.
