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.
