Will only comets fly beyond the moons of Mars?

And only dust sail the cosmic breeze?

Will war destroy us all and send us among the stars

Before we learn their mysteries?


The hours approach for the final decision

In the plans for the total war there can be no revision

The missiles are poised with fatal precision

If they hit not a living thing will ever have the Vision


Do only madmen dream of peace for all mankind?

And only fools reach for stars?

How can the human race become completely blind

To all its war-crimes and battle-scars?

They need to be healed of the shock and the sorrow

Put away every sword and shield ‘cause our lifetime is borrowed

Lift your head to the sky – hear the star-clusters sing

To all the children of the universe a song that sings...

beyond the icy rings of Saturn we'll step across

the threshold of infinity
