Our Imperfect Race

Could there be other life
In this boundless universe
Would they live just like us On a planet like the Earth
How would they see us?
Our imperfect race …
What would they think of us?
The mess we have made …
Or are we doing okay?
Could it be we’re not unique
In the vastness of space
Do they know we are here
Are they heading out our way?
Would they condemn us?
Our imperfect race…
Maybe they’d pity us?
A breed doomed to fail …
Or are we doing okay?
Could it be we’re here alone
A tiny sparkle of life
Could it be this is it
A fleeting moment in time
Maybe there’s only …
Our imperfect race
No one will ever know
And nothing will change …
