Lyrics
verse 1
Points of light, in the night, far across the Milky Way.
Alien eyes look at their skies, to see our ancient day.
Wonder if they shoot for the stars.
chorus
Are we alone on this rock spinning ‘round.
Lost in a universe, have we been found.
Will we hear what they have to say.
Can we go and meet them halfway.
Have we found the truth of the stars.
verse 2
Twinkling in the black, light looking back, man has meaning in the plan.
Galaxies spin, no apparent end, life exists, universe expands.
Wonder if they shoot for the stars.
chorus
Isolated on this water world.
Save the earth for every boy and girl.
Can we reach beyond human hate.
Realize we play with our fate.
They will bring the truth of the stars.
instrumental break
bridge
We are here, hope they are near, go before to a distant shore.
Search for signs, explain the lines, to our past for all to explore.
I think they shoot for the stars.
chorus
Are we alone on this rock spinning ‘round.
Lost in a universe, have we been found.
Will we hear what they have to say.
Can we go and meet them halfway.
Have we found the truth of the stars.
