Pale Blue Dot

I watched my guilt blossom before me
Like a tender shoot
With thirsty roots
Oh, how my garden grows
The shameful seeds I’ve sown
I watched its stems sprawl above me
Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me
But I can live with it
I’ll live in it
There’s no place like home
Stretch your arms around me
Cast your cloud above me
Curtained, kept, and covered in your solemn vow,
«'Ever you go, I’ll follow»
Grow your roots within me
Drink of me you thirsty seed
I cower, cringe, and tremble at your solemn vow,
«'Ever you go, I’ll follow you»
There’s no place like home
(I can learn to live with this
If I can learn to live in it)
(Heavied we’re so heavy)
If she only knew just how sorry I was
(Heavied, we’re so heavy)
If she only knew just how sorry I was
If she only knew…
Sticks and stones won’t break my bones
It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder
Sticks and stones won’t break my bones
I can live with it
If I can learn to live with this
If I can learn to live
