lyrics

Before there was TV
Before we had the app Musically
People sat around a campfire
And looked up at the stars

They saw the Big Dipper
And the phases of the moon
When the sun comes up every day
See the world differently

Carl
Carl Sagan
he took us on a personal voyage
A personal voyage through the cosmos

Carl Sagan says
The Anasazi Indians
Developed round structures
Which they used as calendars

In ancient Alexandria
The buildings had different shadow sizes
The Earth must be round
They found with basic math devices

Carl
Carl Sagan
He taught us
About being human

In ancient Alexandria
They had millions of books on scrolls
The greatest intellectuals
Developed what everyone now knows

Even though Ptolemy was wrong
About an Earth-centered universe
It was the highest academic achievement
Because he came up with it first

Carl Sagan says
You can be intellectually renown
It is no guarantee
Your ideas will be sound

The truth is still out there
Waiting to be found
If you use your imagination
You just need to look around.
